Indeed, and I even have one of these beautiful tapes! I managed to interface it to my HP 85 but that was very hard. It required bus sniffing work, an FPGA adapter, and making an HP 85 "driver" for the thing (see the result in a demo here: https://youtu.be/YS9dGYUbNd0). Great to know the same tape works out the box on an HP 9845. Yet one more reason for me to get one ;-). But my, from Sweden, that's going to be a monster shipping and customs headache. Marc
