The initial CRC value ($0000 vs. $FFFF) and the header (six vs. four 
bytes) are different, but the encoding was quite identical. The Intel 
header format was similar (or even the same) as the "standard" 
soft-sectored formats (i.e. with head and sector length bytes). The HP 
format knows only single-sided floppies with up to 32 sectors (0 to 31).
The address mark bytes are different, too.
