What is an HP98616?

[Bernd Kopriva]

Ok, i bite a little bit in the dust ...
... and searched for the manual. It's the "Peripheral Installation Guide" (97005-90000).
It says : use address 2 if only one other disc drive is available beside the 9122,
use address 3, if there are two drives. This applies to 9121 as well.
The more important sentence is : 9121/9122 are supported for Series 200 with Boot Rom 3.0
or later and Boot Rom Rev.A for all Series 300 systems ...
