Re: BASIC for HP 1000, 21xx series
Excellent write up Brent. We’ll refer to it when/if we get our 2116 going!

Re: HP 85 tapes
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.

Seeking 4067 DRAM ICs
Howdy friends, In need of 8 pcs. MT4067-15 or equiv. to fill out the RAM board in a Tandy 1000 EX. These are 64k x 4bit I believe. Just checking to see if a group member might have some stashed away?

Meanwhile, I've found this: http://www.biblewitness.org/technical/HP_Series-80/HP-85/ASSM/TAPDUPS.TXT But I have no idea what it does. It sounds interesting, though. Any HP 85 experts here who can comment on this program? Christian

Re: HP 85 tapes
On Mon, 25 Feb 2019, it was written The way I have been doing it is to copy the tape files to a LIF floppy disk file (real or just emulated with HPDRIVE), then archive that - either just the HPDRIVE file or a ImageDisk archive of the real disk. Recreating the tape is the inverse process of copying the virtual or real disk to the tape. And what about SECUREd files? I'm thinking of a binary program that ideally dumps the cartridge to e.g a single floppy disk file. I've done something similarly for the IBM 5110, but I'm no HP 85 expert at all.
