- 1. The 9127A floppy drive is discontinued. HP no longer sells any
- 5.25-in HP-IB flexible disk drives.
-
- 2. If you already own a 9127A, try it. The CS/80 driver for the EISA
- HP-IB card has been found to work with most CS/80 and SS/80 devices.
- The only known problems were seen on the 7936/37H hard disks. This
- is not to imply any formal support.

- The Apollo stand-alone floppy is still available as HP product number
- AADDSFLPABA (really :-) and is SCSI. I loaned one to the R&D engineer who
- owns the Series 700 SCSI driver. I'll ask him if he'd like to comment on
- the state of it's functionality on s700 HP-UX (as I recall, it may not work
- before 9.0). I don't know if we're claiming formal support.
