[comp.sys.mac] How to read an HP-format 3-1/2" disk on a Mac?

    Does anybody know how to read a 3-1/2" disk formatted on an HP
computer?  Is there software available that could be used with the
Apple File Exchange, or a driver for this format? (Is this even possible
with the HDFD?)

We use an HP9836 computer and instrumentation to collect data, which we
would then like to transfer to other computers.  Currently, I must do
file transfers, from HP->UNIX->mac which are quite tedious from the HP
systems.  The HP9836 runs both HP BASIC and Pascal operating systems.
It would be much more convenient if the text files could be read
directly via the mac's HDFD,

I know very little about the HP format, except that they use MFM.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
