Greeting to the group, I'm a new member. I have got one HP 9915, sadly without the Operator Interface (09915-66572). Do someone have one spare operator...
I'm looking around to purchase a HP-85 and a HPIB interface to allow me to control some items of T&M equipment. I have quite a limited budget but would welcome...
The tape unit on the HP 85 you buy will probably be damaged, and it is not a fun thing to fix. Avoid the the HP 85, and instead choose an HP 86B or HP 87XM and...
There is some demand, check eBay. eBay demand is very sporadic, one week some item sells for almost nothing and a few weeks later the same item in the same...
I recently aquired a CP/M module for the HP-86/87. Tonight, I wanted to download the CP/M system disk from hpmuseum.net but it seems that this great site is...
Go to http://www.series80.org I think that they have it. You will need to use the hp LIFUTIL utility Floppy disk for series 80 use LIF format, and usually 256...
The hpmuseum.net site is online again, and I was able to download the CP/M system disk image. So tonight, my CP/M experiments can start :-). Forunately, I have...
Jürgen, You need Teledisk to recreate the disks from the museum. Initializing of other disks can be done with the HP-85 it self. -Rik ... From: "Jürgen...
There are many low level disk tools around. I know Teledisk, ImageDisk (freeware), and the nice tools from www.hp9845.net (e.g., hpdir). I think the latter...
Hi Rik, yes, I am aware that I need to use Teledisk. Yesterday evening, I tried to create the CP/M system disk from the image I found on hpmuseum.net. I tried...
Jürgen, Did you ask Jon if he has another copy? Jon is in most cases very helpful . When you send him an email, he'll help you if possible . I use a Omnibook...
Rik, I will ask John, I've seen he has a working HP-87 CP/M system. Did you ever (successfully) replicate the CP/M system disk image from hpmuseum.net on your...
Not the HP-85 CP/M disk but lots of other disks , eg. HP-125 CP/M disks and other 85/86 disks etc. Even RTE disks are not a problem. -Rik ... From: "Jürgen...
I downloaded Teledisk 2.16, and it expects the image file to be in a native teledisk format with the extension TB0. The image file that I downloaded from the...
I managed to create the CP/M sytem disk :-) It seems that it was a floppy controller problem on one of my PCs. Anyway, Teledisk did not work on both PCs,...
Maybe I will experiment with CP/M next, but the reason I purchased an HP 87XM was GPIB control of instruments. Control of instruments with an HP 80 series...
I am still stuck in trying to communicate with my HP86B through the RS232 serial interface ROM 82939. The only programs I have are not written in HP Basic,...
I don't have the program you need, but I did write one about 25 years ago. I can only offer you this tidbit, the RS232 ports in the HP86 are rather rigorous...
Hi Ron, I thought if I gave you the names of some of the binaries used for special crt & kbd control by 87/85 it may help you & others. I have copies of many...
I have a number of HP test instruments that I want to control from my recently acquired 86B. Originally I was looking for an 85 but was advised the best way to...
Hi Steve, As HP86B has built in HPIB interface you only need a cable to link 86B & each instrument and your drive unit. I guess they did not have a drive as...
Hi Ash, I understand that the HP86B has the HPIB interface and the instruments I wish to control also have this. I have cables to connect the 86B to the ...
Hi Steve, The HP86B has rom based basic so you just turn it on and start programing. It has an Electronic Disk (memory can be configured as disk - ED...
The Mass-Storage ROM is build in in the HP-86B you can use a HP9121S or D without any other ROM's inserted unlike the HP-85A the HP-85B has also the MS-Rom...
Hi Ash, I'm going to need something that is non volatile so some form of the many options of disk drive is going to be the order of the day here and it's going...
