Flex Disc options for the HP 9825

[David Collins]

Guys, I've looked for a 98228A ROM in the HP Computer Museum but haven't
been able to find one - but it looks like we've had one at some stage
judging by the photo. 

If I come across it I'll come back to you.

Thanks, I didn't know, I grabbed the image. That offers a path if I can ever
get an 9885 and single sides 8" discs...
