Hi,
i'm currently trying to initialize my HP9133L with the HFS file system, but executing
MKHFS only
runs into an integer overflow exception ...
... this is independent of the number of volumes that are used (i have to admit, i only
have tried
1 .. 3 volumes).
I have a Basic 6.4 at hand as well, with this one, it's possible to initialize the
drive, but then,
the volume isn't accessible by Pascal anymore :(
Another issue : is it possible to boot from the floppy within the 9133 ? I can only boot
from another
9122 that is connected, but not with the 9133 build in drive, later it's possible to
use it normally
Thanks Bernd

I've run into sitauations like this. It SEEMS like some OS will only run
on certain machines and will give errors like this if they're run on other
(lesser?) CPUs. I wasn't seriously interested in the bigger HP 9000/300s so
I never pursued the matter further.

Check the format of a disk formatted in each drive. I believe that
you'll find that they're different. I've run into situations like this when
tring to use 9122C drives on the HP IPC. HP drives are just plain weird,
they'll handle numerous formats but they default to all kinds of strange
(and different!) formats.

I thought, that it might be an issue with the harddisk size of the 9133L.
I tried several partition sizes, but everytime, the same failure occurs, so replacing the
40 MB drive with a smaller one might not be successful too.
I found an older Basic version 5.x. With this one, i was able to create a HFS volume,
that can be somehow accessed by my Pascal version: i can see the directories, but
accessing files will lead to an integer overflow again :(
What Pascal version is required to gain HFS compatibility with Basic 6.4 ?
What's the latest version of HP Pascal, that's available (i saw somewhere a
reference
to 3.25), is there a chance to get a copy ?
Thanks Bernd

I have NO idea! And I doubt HP even mentions it in their docs.

I'm afraid that I can't tell you. I've sent ALL of my HP docs to Al to be
scanned. I THINK in the stack somewhere there are some charts showing what
versions are supported on the different machines but it would just be a
matter of looking through the stuff till you found it. The last time I
looked Al had some of the stuff on-line. I expect that he has it all
on-line by now.
I'll try to look in my stuff and see if I have Pascal install SW and if
so what version. I suspect that if I have one it's going to be old.
