HP 85 tapes

[Curious Marc]

Christian,
This I don’t know. You should join the hp 80 group on groups.io and ask there:
https://groups.io/g/hpseries80
Some of the original engineers for the 85 are on there, they know every detail, and are incredibly helpful.

Recreating the tape is the inverse process of copying the virtual or real disk to the tape.
