Inside the box of floppies for the Intel MDS 800, was
a single tape
cartridge.
Its a HP200, certified data cartridge, series 9800. Is this something that
can be used with a MDS 800, or is it something that someone else needs?
Interesting. No, it is not usable with the MDS 800.
The tape cart is for the 98XX series of computer/calculators. It is also used
in the HP85s and with the tape drive for the HP41 calculators. IIRC it is
similar to the DC100 series of tape carts.

Nope, the HP 41 cassette drive uses a micro cassette tape very similar to that used in
answering machines.

Yeap that one was the first of the DC100 tapes.

However, this cassette (the HP82176, used inthe 82161 tape drive) is not
indentical to either of the common answering machine tapes (The philips
'minicassette' or the Sanyo 'microcassette'). It's most similar to the
minicassette, but it is mechanically different enough (it's thicker, the
spool spacing is different) to prevent the use of minicassettes in the HP
drive.
Correct. The only thing that I've found that uses the same tape is the Fluke 9010
Troubleshooter. I haven't tried one of the Fluke tapes but it appears to be
identical. I'm surprised that I've never found anything else that uses the same
tape.
