The HP 110 Portables and the (somewhat) DOS-incompatible HP 9114 Floppy Drive

The HP 100 Series consisted of the Portable 110 and the Portable Plus. Very nice machines, quiet a bit ahead of it's time. And they had a minor role in the 1982 KNIGHT RIDER TV series. Most portable machines where bulky and heavy. But in the mid-80s, various vendors brought a new generation of machines in a really portable form factor. The HP 100 series was ahead of it's time, and it feature a very unique, though HP-specific, connectivity option for peripherals: the HP Interface Loop (aka HP-IL), which could be seen as a somewhat precursor technology to later year's USB. Join me for a look at these machines, and the troubles I had to deal with when I started using the HP9114 floppy disk drive. 00:00 Intro 01:15 A look into the HP 100 series 06:38 The HP 9114 3.5" floppy disk drive 07:13 Insights into the HP-IL, the Interface Loop 09:13 The HP 9114 floppy drive again: It was (not really) DOS compatible 10:09 Reviving the HP 9114 floppy drive 13:16 Retesting the HP 9114 floppy drive 18:53 Is the HP 9114 now DOS compatible, or not? 20:30 Conclusion 22:41 Credits Links: HP Museum, Software Library: https://www.hpmuseum.org/software/swc...
