I urge everyone to gather their tapes up and try to

I can understand that important stuff may be out there for HP-85s,
since they are actual computers. The 2648A is a terminal though. A
very sophisticated terminal, but just a terminal. Its my impression
that the tapes would have been used for storing entered data or plot
data as the terminal has an "autoplot" feature (very cool, I only
learned about this last night and didn't know it back in 78 :-).
Was there ever any "software" made for the 2648A? I don't see
anything in the service, reference or user's manual for it. (A big
thanks to hpmuseum.net for having all that stuff scanned!)
