I seriously doubt these can be read in another

HP stores the program files in a tokenized format and AFIK no one knows
what the token values are.
This only refers to BASIC programs, other files such as data files
do not need a "detokenizer", but of course you need to know the
structure of the data (which brings us back to reading the Basic
programs that created them).
As far as the Series 80 and the HP IPC (Integral PC), threre is a
"detokenizer" that can be downloaded from:
http://rocknroll.stanford.edu/~lharcke/programming/
(scroll down till you reach the section called "BASIC detokenizers for
the HP Series 80 and Integral personal computers")
I do not have access to HP-9845 Basic files, but the above programs
may be able to read these files (hopefully without too much effort).
