It depends on the model, the A model will support some drives including the 9121 and
82901 and the B will support additional drives since it has some of the extension ROMs
built in. The EMS ROM supports even more drives. Sorry but the details are fuzzy since I
haven't played with 85s in a while.

Eventually hope to hook it up to a floopy drive
Are you sure the HP-85 supports floopy drives?
Not many machines do. :-)
Reminds me of the classified ad for a "sloppy disk drive"
that Byte reprinted many years ago. Someone commented
that the hole in the wall attested to the breakthrough
in technology.
