Rumor has it that Frank McConnell may have mentioned these words:

I just received about 80 HP Cassette tapes today,
and have no idea what
these things might be used on or for. They appear to be about DC-100
size and have names such as "64850-10005 Z8 asm/lnk", "64815-10002 68000
Pascal Compiler", "64816-10005 Z8001/2 Pascal Compiler", "Z80
Emul/Asm",
etc. Anyone have any idea of what machine these things might be used on?
HP 64000 cross-development system. Some used DC100 tapes as
distribution media, others used 5.25" floppies.
Holey-Macaroni! I *have* a HP64000 w/a tape drive, but no means to boot the
sucker... (it booted off of another HP64000 thru it's own network) and it
has the 6800 emulation board (amongst other things) in it.
Someday I hope to have the machine fully working... If those tapes ever
need a home, keep me in mind!
