Interresting, I've don't even knew that such tape drives existed.
It's the little HPIL tape drive that was first used with the HP41
calculator.
I'm interested in software for that thing, but it
seems that I can't do
much to be helpful here.
I'll ask the friend from which I got the disk drive, maybe some tape
drive existis additinally? I've read on wikipedia that the Tapes are
HP-IL only but converters to HP-IB should exists..
The HP1630 has HPIL as standard. IIRC you can configure it to either be
remote-controlled over HPIB (when it will use HPIL for mass storage devices
like this tape drive) or vice versa.
But I seem to remember that there were several firmware revisions for
these logic analysers and that some feautres were added later. You
may need to 'acquire' a dump of the later ROMs...
