  Damm! That's quite a collection! Do you use all those?

   There is no 9000 pod AFIK. Do you mean the 9100 mainframe? If so I know where there's one at.


the probe, and of course tapes. I talked to Breamar,

   How much do they charge for tapes? I haven't tried to do anything with the Fluke tape drives but I used to repair a lot of HP tape drives and I expect that I could fix these easy enough. But it seemed like it wasn't really necessary since you can easily interface them to a PC and save everything there. FWIW there is a small HP digital cassette drive that uses the same size tapes. I THINK the tapes are interchangable but I've never tried it. The HP tapes are scarce as hen's teeth too so there wasn't any point except perhaps just to satisfy my curiousity. These are the only two things that I've ever seen that used those tapes.
