Is anyone here familar with these drives? I was checking some HP 1000s today and making
particular note of what boot roms they contained. One of them had a label that said that
it had a boot rom for the "7905/20 disk". I checked my references and found that
these drives are supposed to use the Amigo/MAC protocall. I know that a lot of the older
HP floppy drives (9885, 82901/902, 9121, etc) also use the Amigo prototcall. I'm
wondering if that means that this 1000 can boot from one of those floppy drives. How
compatible is the 7905/7920 Amigo protocall and the Amigo protocall that's used for
the floppy drives?
