HP's Amigo Protocol, HFS

Hi Joe,

The drive is a 9134XV - serial number begins with 23 so I guess that it
would be from around 1983. If I look at the drive with an HP 9000 332 it
sees an HFS partition - with basic 6.0 binaries :).

When I ask the drive to identify itself it returns a pair of bytes that I
don't recognise (1 and 15 from memory but I could be wrong). This pair of
bytes is not the same as the pair that would be returned by a CS80 drive.

I managed to check the reader software with a pair of 9133 drives, a 9134
drive (which fails) and a 7907 drive (this identifies itself correctly but
appears to have been wiped of data at some time).

I have some other software recorded on 7906 removable cartridges - does
anyone know if an HPIB version of this drive was made? - I think that the
model number may be 7906H but I have no further information. Does anyone
have a 7906H tht they don't need?

Cheers

Peter Brown
