they use 720K floppies

HP 110, Portable PLUS and the IBM PC (using the HP-IL card) use
512 bytes per sector, 9 sectors per track for a formatted capacity of 710K

The Series 40 and 70 use
256 bytes per sector, 16 sectors per track for a formatted capacity of 630K

The lower capacity is due to the fact that the 9114 spares tracks to be
used as replacements for bad sectors on the diskette.
