What I forgot, if anyone has tapes or info of these systems I would be very interested.
Tapes are dc100 type of tape cartridges, typically starting with HP 05423-##### or HP 05420-######
And have titles like HP 5420A/B, HP 5423, Control- Test- or HPIB-tape etc..
I've one working set of software and love to find more.
