Hello,
I just got an HP-85 and an HP-86B in functional order. But I don't have any docs with them. Furthermore, with the HP-86B I have a 9121SD disk drive but without any disk.
Can someone help me to get the system disk for the 86B ? I can write LIF disk on my PC (with HP lifutil, in DFS mode). I search the 'demo disk'.
For the HP-85, can someone help me to find some DC-100 cartridge in France ?
Thanks in advance.
Olivier
P.S. if you have spare ROM modules I'm interested
- HP 00087-15004 matrix ROM for 86/87
- HP 00087-15005 advanced programming ROM for 86/87
There is no system disk for the 85/86, I bought a new system in 1983 and never got one. The computer has its HP Basic in ROM's build in. I could supply you with 2 blanc disks, but I have to know if you have the 51/4 or the 31/2 version. I have 2 sets of manuals for the 86B. Do you have anything else from HP to trade? Regards, Jan
Hi,
The 9121SD is a 264Ko single density, single side 3 1/2 unit and I can use old 720k PC disk with it. My HP is a 86B with the HP-IB interface built-in. (56K ROM, 128K RAM, e-disk built-in) but I have no docs at all for the 85A and 86B.
When I say 'system disk', it from the following URL: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/hp.html about kermit for HP86/87. See the text file : ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/c/hp8ins.doc (paragraph 1.1)
I need in fack the UTIL/1 file and GETSAVE file in DFS-LIF format.
I have also a spare HP 92939A serial interface without docs with the HP-85
Thanks anyway.
