Did any Tektronix equipment use tapes that are
compatible with HP DC100
tapes? I found a couple of unused tapes that have a Tektronix label but no
part number that I can see. They look pretty much the same as an HP DC100
tape. I suppose I could just try them in an HP 2645A I picked up after I
clean up the tape units, but it would be nice to know whether or not they
really should work first.
Yeah, the Tektronix 4041 computer and DAS 9100 (modular pattern generator/logic
analyzer) both used DC 100 type tapes. I suspect other Tektronix equipment used the same
tape but that's the only ones that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm not
certain that the tapes are compatible but they look the same and I suspect they'd work
if you reformat them in the HP. I've only found about 2 Tektronix tapes so I've
never tried to use one in a HP.
Also, anyone use HP 9144 tape drives, or have one they are not using? I
found a couple of unused tapes for those units.
Why? The xxxxxSC tapes only hold 15mbs and the xxxxxLC tapes only hold 60 Mb. The 9146
is interesting. It has both a tape drive and a hard drive and you can back up the disk to
tape (and the reverse?) with no other equipment attached.
