We at Robins AF BASE are in need of a copy of a 09877-10002 Tape Binary
Duplicator Tape. I just did a Google search for this part number and
recieved the following. Do you still have these? Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks, Doyle Bullock

Eureka!

  Well I didn't find the Holy Grail but this is close! I went to a hamfest
today and in a box of junk I found the operating program for the HP 9877
Mass Memory unit! That's the box that has up to four tape drives installed
and was used to mass duplicate HP 9825 tapes at the HP factory. The 9877 is
a rare bird and was only offered to the public for one year (1979 IIRC) but
I've got two of the 9877s, Tony D has one and NASA KSC has one but NO ONE
has been able to locate the operating program for it till now. The tape
APPEARS to be in good condition but you know how HP tapes are :-(

  The full name of the tape is "Duplicator 9825A/9877" and it's part number
is 09877-10002.

   Other INTERESTING finds (in the same box no less!) were a new DC-300A
tape (as used on the IBM 5100 and Tektronix 4051), a Plot 50 tape and Plot
50 Backup tape and an Alignment tape. All three are for the Tektronix 4051
computer.

   Wahoo! A good ClassiComp day!

   Joe
