Re: 9114A vs 9114B disk drive Message #2 Posted by Grant Goodes on 15 May 2003, 1:42 p.m., in response to message #1 by Jon THe 9114B is preferrable, but it's not that major: It has lower power-consumption, so will last longer on a single charge (I believe this is due to a different floppy-drive unit being used). There are some other minor differences. grant..

Re: 9114A vs 9114B disk drive Message #4 Posted by Diego Diaz on 17 May 2003, 12:08 p.m., in response to message #1 by Jon There are also differences regarding the power supply and the battery charge gauge. 9114A uses 88014A battery pack with a very simple charging circuit. 9114B uses 88014B wich includes a more alaborated circuitry. Anyhow you can swap them as they both have the same physical dimensions and the same connector. 9114A has one only led to display battery/power status, while 9114B has a three led gauge to tell the users the "amount" of charge still remainig in their batteries. Also the drives are different, both mechanical and electrically. Cheers.
