Hi,
I read the earlier messages about DC100A v DC1000 tapes. I was given a
DC1000 tape to try and sadly it didn't work in my HP-85.
I found the following page which implies the DC1000 requires a stronger
magnetic field than DC100A. So it's a bit like typing to use HD floppies in
a DD drive.

(BTW these tapes are 0.15" not one eight of an inch).
The following firm advertise DC100A, but I haven't bought any from them so
don't know if they have any stock:
