RE: 110 Portable Plus software, Teledisk
The diskette is likely in 256 byte per sector format 18 sectors per track (0-17). A lot of HP stuff was in that format, I have not had any luck recreating the diskettes on a 1.44MB diskette drive I have only ever had it work on a real 720K drive under DOS. I just tried it and it seemed to complete but I don't have any way to verify as I don't have anything that can read 256 byte per sector dos diskettes.

I now have what is essentially a binary image of the diskette and I can confirm that it is a 256 byte per sector DOS format diskette. I created this image using the TD2HPI utility found on the HPDIR site http://www.hp9845.net/9845/projects/hpdir/ specificly in the software section http://www.hp9845.net/9845/software/pack...ml#addinfo The tools on this site are really design for manipulating LIF format diskette and disk images especially for the 9845 but I have used them with series 80 machines as well. The hpi format that is used for the hpdrive disk emulator is just a flat binary image so you can probably extract the files from the image without a whole lot of trouble. Send me an email of PM if you need assistance finding your way around the binary image.
