Yeah, the Tektronix 4041 computer and DAS 9100 (modular pattern generator/logic analyzer) both used DC 100 type tapes. I suspect other Tektronix equipment used the same tape but that's the only ones that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm not certain that the tapes are compatible but they look the same and I suspect they'd work if you reformat them in the HP. I've only found about 2 Tektronix tapes so I've never tried to use one in a HP.

Why? The xxxxxSC tapes only hold 15mbs and the xxxxxLC tapes only hold 60 Mb. The 9146 is interesting. It has both a tape drive and a hard drive and you can back up the disk to tape (and the reverse?) with no other equipment attached.
