Yes there are two versions of the disk rom but if i
remember correctly
the first rom is only for the 9885 drive and the second is for both the
9885 and the newer 9895. So either ROM should work for you.
The ROM I have says "9885M Flexible Disk Drive". From what you're saying,
this is the older one and would require the additional routines on tape. If
the newer one doesn't require the tape routines, that should fix the
problem.
I'll sawp ya an old one for a newer one :-)
See ya,
SteveRob

I think I have plenty of the new roms. We'll dig one out when you come
up. But I think you may still need the utilities on the disk. I think
that's function of the drive and not the ROM. I've never tried to hook up
a drive to a 9825 so I'm not sure. My advice is to find a 9895 8" drive or
even a newer 5 1/4" or EVEN better a 9121 3 1/2" HP-IB drive! Not only is
the HP-IB stuff newer and better but also once you make that work you can
use all kinds of hard, floppy, CD or tape drives.
BTW I spotted a Commie 8050 dual 5 1/4" drive in our favorite store in
Melbourne today. It's also HP-IB. I don't know if you can use it or not but
let me know if you want it and I'll tell you exactly where it's at.
