Never mind, I asked for help in the series80 Yahoo group, and this is
actually the right package. My problem came from elsewhere (issues in making
an error-free 5.25 HP-formatted floppy, its fixed now). The disc image below
has both the HP86/87 and the HP83/85 versions on it. Works great, now my
HP85 can be a cute serial terminal. Thanks Jay W. for the pointer to the
software package, I had been trying to do this for a while.

Does anyone have a copy of the Data Communications Pac
for the HP 83/85?
It's a rather well done combo BASIC/Assembly package that turns your HP 85
into a terminal emulator (Jay alerted me to it). This HP Computer Museum
link claims this is it:

But when you download and extract the linked image it is actually the HP
86/87 version. I haven't been able to locate the HP 83/85 version of that
PAC.

Even though I have plenty of 262x and 264x terminals, for some reason I've
got this desire to use the HP-85A as a console for my HP2000 rig :) That's
why I've been poking at the -85A recently.
Most of the commands and displays on the system console of the HP2K will
work ok on a 32 character display but there are a few command outputs that
would wrap around a lot. Why do I have this notion that before too long I'll
be looking to sell my -85A and purchase an 87? Or maybe someone with an 87
is looking to trade.... :)
Best,
J
