My luck, last fall I could of had 4 of them for free. :-) But dont need a
drive.
I've been asking a few T&M friends and I maybe able to get the
test/calibration software in newer formats and in HP Basic. That would
eliminate the whole issue.
Sounds like time to make a want list to use for searching.
Got to put the toy away for now, hopefully in a month will be able to get
back to getting one of these guys going.
Thanks for all the help so far... will order a 68pin to 50pin SCSI drive
adapter and hope does not have the same issue the 16700A logic analyzers
have, no drive > 4 (or 8GB cant remember).

These tapes where used in a number of machine

And the HP 9815 desktop calculator, 2644 terminal, 4951A protocol
analyzer. Probably other products as well.
There was also at least 1 external tape drive
that
used these tapes
HP 9875 dual, 9877 quad
not to mention DEC made a drive for them as well.
The DEC TU58 drive uses the same physical cartridge (DC100), but can't
read HP formatted tapes, or vice versa.
