     Aren't these 1630D diskettes in 
HP's LIF format?   There are LIF 
utilities for the PC to read / write 
diskettes for the 9121.  I've done it 
and have all the hardware and software 
in working order -- just not readily 
available for awhile.

     Like you, Holm, I've a 1630D as 
well as 1630G I'd love to find these 
disassemblers for.   Would be useful to 
collect as many as can be found and put 
on Bitsavers.
