I don't have the model numers in my head, but AFAIK most (all?) of the
old HP-IB 3.5" floppy drives used a very special format. (I have
somthing about 800 kB and 600 RPM in my head.) No PeeCee will be able to
read this. I doubt that Linux can read the filesystem either, UFS !=
UFS... 

Maybe you can remove the framebuffer to force the machine to serial
console?
