Tony,
I believe that you are right about the 9154. That brings to mind another
question about that drive. My 9154 has a half height 3.5" Sony drive
with the 34 pin connector. However, there is no power connector for the
floppy. Other Sony floppies that I have seen have the 34 pin connector
and an extra 4 wire power connector. Can I use other floppies on the HP
drive? I tried one last night and the 9154 would not even power on with
a standard Sony floppy (the fan would not even come on).
On a related note, the hard disks in the 9154 are supposed to be 20MB
3.5" SCSI drives, but they use a smaller connector that I am not
familiar with, and again no power connector. Is there some standard for
SCSI that came before the normal SCSI-1 type connector or did HP do some
proprietary type of connector?
Thanks,
-Pete

I thought the 9153 used the
half-height drive with the 34 pin connector.
I've never pulled one apart, but I have the 9154 (same unit _without the
floppy drive_) on my HP150-II and it certainly appears that such a drive
would drop in.
A 9133 uses the full-height drive that we've been discussing, though. As
does the 9114A HPIL drive.
