I'm also interested in getting HP-IB floppies to work (this would eventually
get me access to my dusty 8" floppies from the CP/M 1.8 days) but i have to
admit that i don't understand how to modify the HPIB driver (ok, i haven't
tried hard ... ;-)) and i'm a bit short of time.
In case someone likes to work on this, i can supply the docs for the Amigo
command set(s) and help testing and/or debugging code.
