HP 110 Portable (+), Disk Format, HP110.SYS
The HP Portable (Plus) laptops are MS-DOS compatible, but it is not that easy to transfer software from a PC to these machines. One way is to build a custom RS 232 cable ( the pinout of the Portables is non-standard ) and find and setup suitable terminal programs on both sides, but I've heard there should be another easier path for owners of the 9114 external floppy disk drive.
The disk formats of PC and HP Portable are different, so normally a disk written by a PC cannot be read by the Portable, but:
A device driver ( file name: HP110.SYS ) should exist ( according to a post in a vintage computer forum ). With that driver a standard PC should be able to write disks in HP 110 Portable format.
Does anyone know about such a driver? Or much better: Can anyone provide it?
