Don;
Are these 8" disks, 5 1/4" disks or 3 1/2" disks? I think I have some 5
1/4"
HP HPIB disk drives that I think work on the 125s &
120s.
They usually have 3 1/2" drives but the 5 1/4" drives should work on
them. But the 5 1/4" are SLLOOOWWWW!
I also have a 120
somewhere.
You used to, I have it now (via Dan).
I used to have a 125 and it is the CPM machine on a strange pedestal. They
came in two heights. IIRC the 125 had a larger parallel Centronics type
connector to hook up to 5 1/4" & 8" drives.
Hmmm. I think you're confused here. I don't remember the 125 having a
parallel connector. Are you sure that the connector that you're thinking of
isn't the RS-232 connector? HP uses a 50 pin Centronics style connector
for it. My 125 is buried at the moment so I can't check. Also I've never
seen a 5 1/4" drive with the parallel connection. All of the ones that I'm
aware of use HP-IB. Some of the 8" drives used the parallel ports.
Some of my disk drives have a
dual plug set up, HPIB and this larger Centronics type
connector.
Hmmm. I've never heard of a drive having both interfaces. What model is
that?
I am sure I
don't have the large cable though. I have lots of HPIB cables.
I have one or two of the large parallel cables. They're part of a
special version (option 85) of the HP 98032 16 bit parallel interface.
