Yeah, my initial test disk is from an HP 87 with a 9121 drive.  

HP BASIC rocks!  Very powerful, if you're doing math.  I've got what
is nearly the ultimate HP BASIC machine, a 9845B.  No reading its
disks with a CoCo, though.  8" non-LIF, I'm not sure a standard floppy
controller is physically capable of decoding them.

Speaking of HP BASIC though, any discussion of LIF utilities should
contain the disclaimer that HPBASIC's binary formats are
machine-specific, undocumented blobs that can only rarely be decoded
by another machine.
