HP-87 and HP-9122D

[stephenpeterson]

My apologies! The drive that I grabbed without a cover wasn't a 9122D but a 9122C.
As I am learning, it should take all the common size floppy disks. The fact that it won't initialize any of them is a problem I have to work on when parts arrive.

The other issue that is bugging me, is the fact that I get an immediate Syntax error when entering "INITIALIZE 15,2".

On what looks like page 8 of the Extended Mass Storage manual is an example-

"INITIALIZE "BETSY1",".JUNK5",15,2"

As soon as I hit END LINE, the error immediately pops up without any access to the drive. Since it's a syntax error, I am thinking that either the EMS ROM emulation isn't quite right or the EMS doesn't work with the model 9122C drive. Comments?

Thanks again for your guys patience and help. It is appreciated.
