Glen,
Are you sure it's the HP 82161 drive that's for the 82176A mini cassette and not
the DC100 tapes.
If it's the DC100 tape, it may be possible to read it with a HP-85 or an 9877A tape
drive.
It depends on the tape format if the tapes are readable on other systems.

I found the tape. It is a "MINI DATA CASSETTE":

Part number 10269-11014, "6809 INVERSE ASSEMBLER".
This page says the 82176A cartridges are extremely reliable and they
have been able to read every tape they have come accross:

I have no means to read and dump this tape myself.
