Any former HPites from back then on here? All things 9845 can be found at hp9845.net it is a really great site for 9845 information and also a really useful HPIB storage emulation program, HPDrive. You may want to ask for assistance / parts on the groups.io VintHPcom group lots of us owners of old HP computers hang around there. Not sure about the 9830 but the mass storage ROM on 9845 only supported Amigo but Structured Software Systems (SSS) produced a ROM that expanded storage support to include some SS/80 devices but not sure is 9133H was included, but IMHO with a flat file system and only 6 character file names I don't see hard disks as being really practical unless you need large files. I mostly use a 9895 8" diskette unit with my 9835A and 9835Ts but also have a 9885M. The SSS ROM supports most of the 3.5" diskette units as well. There is an image of the ROM on hp9845.net but I am not sure how you might interface something like EPROMs to a 9845, if I had one I would have already done that as I did for my 9835A, 9825, and series 80 machines. Edit: You can also find lots of info at hpmuseum.net Paul. |
