You're certainly right about that. I wouldn't touch any kind of test equipment
that doesn't include the pods (unless someone gives it to me). It generally cost more
to buy the pods than it costs for a complete unit including, pods, manuals and
accessories. FWIW when I go scrounging I make it a point to look through all the scrap
wire bins for any probes, pods, etc. They make good trading material even if I don't
need them.

Joe,
I have pods for the 1802, 6502, 6800, 6802, 6808,
6809, 68000, 8048, 8080,
8085, 8086, 8088, 80186, 80188, 80286, 9900, Z80,
and 24, 28, and 32 pin rom
emulators
Damm! That's quite a collection! Do you use all
those?
Looking for a 9000 pod,
There is no 9000 pod AFIK. Do you mean the 9100
mainframe? If so I know where there's one at.
the probe, and of course tapes. I talked to Breamar,
they support the tape drive and sell tapes so that
problem should be solved
for now.
How much do they charge for tapes? I haven't
tried to do anything with the Fluke tape drives but
I used to repair a lot of HP tape drives and I
expect that I could fix these easy enough. But it
seemed like it wasn't really necessary since you can
easily interface them to a PC and save everything
there. FWIW there is a small HP digital cassette
drive that uses the same size tapes. I THINK the
tapes are interchangable but I've never tried it.
The HP tapes are scarce as hen's teeth too so there
wasn't any point except perhaps just to satisfy my
curiousity. These are the only two things that I've
ever seen that used those tapes.

Thanks,
Don
