Yep, that should work, although unless I'm badly mistaken the 9816
only understands 720kB floppies. Finding an HP-UX box with floppy

The one such utility I'm familiar with is designed for HP9144 floppy
drive using somewhat unusual format (256-byte sectors) which may
not work in the 9121 drive used in the 9816.
