<<<< < We have an HP 86 computer hooked up in a lab. We would like to < use the data from the HP on an IBM PC. We are interested in two < possible ways: < < 1. kermit for the HP would allow us to do it over rs232 lines < < 2. create ibm formatted disks on the hp < < Anybody have either of these programs? < If its an HP-86 A with the Non HPIB drive then it will not be able to read or write a standard IBM floppy. The internal sector buffer is only 256 bytes while the IBM needs 512. I understand that there are programs for the IBM that can read/write HP LIF formated discs but I have not tested any with HP-86 discs. John Eaton !hplabs!hp-pcd!john
