I have a 2647 or a 2628.. ( has cassettes in it) I thought there was basic for it... neat.. how do we generate the tape to load it?Bet the rollers in the drive are toast? I believe the drives are the same as the 9825, 9845, and series 80 machines. HP9845.net has a page on repairing these drives: http://www.hp9845.net/9845/tutorials/tapedrives/ Dave
