Don;

Are these 8" disks, 5 1/4" disks or 3 1/2" disks? I think I have some 5 1/4"
HP HPIB disk drives that I think work on the 125s & 120s. I also have a 120
somewhere.

I used to have a 125 and it is the CPM machine on a strange pedestal. They
came in two heights. IIRC the 125 had a larger parallel Centronics type
connector to hook up to 5 1/4" & 8" drives. Some of my disk drives have a
dual plug set up, HPIB and this larger Centronics type connector. I am sure I
don't have the large cable though. I have lots of HPIB cables.
