    These are nice drives and they're fast.

   Sounds like part of a printer based on the PN.

   Single sided double density drive. These work on most HP computers. I
think these will work on the HP 85. HP-IB.

>HP9895A (qty 2) dual 8" floppy

    *Nice!* Double Density Double sided 8" floppy drives with HP-IB
interface. These also work on most HP computers including the HP 85. The
capacity is about 1.2 Mb per drive if I remember right.

>HP9127A (qty 3) 5.25" floppy

     These are neat. They're read and write MS-DOS formatted disks. I know
the 150 supports them but I'm not sure what other systems do.

   These are MS-DOS compatible (not IBM compatible though).
