article about this somewhere in a HP manual. I think it was in one of the
HP 9845 manuals. I have some here at the house I'll look through them and
see if I can find it.

What does the version of BASIC have to do with the file storage format on
the tape?
I have a couple HP DC100 tapes that I'm going to attempt a dump from. I'm
told they were written on a 9845. I don't have a 9845 (still regret the
one I missed years ago). Can these be read on a 9830B? What about an HP
85?
No and no. The 9845 has a higher level of basic than the 85 or any of the
other calculators.
