    Commonly used a 82901/82902 5 1/4" floppy drive but a 9121 3.5" works
and is much faster (Hint: you HAVE to use 720k disks in the 91xx drives, a
1.44 disks will not work). I MAY support the 9122, I'm not sure. I think
it will support the 9153 hard dive. It will also support the 9895 8" floppy
drive. The 87 XM is a fine machine, and was the top of the line for the HP
85 series.
