[ZOleg]

[jotne]

82176A is the tapes for the 82161A

[ZOleg]

I now, but I was interested in it analogues produced by Sony, Verbatim, Panasonic, etc., so as to get 82167A in Russia is impossible.

[ZOleg]

Are not there analogues from other manufacturers?

[jotne]

Thanks for the info, but I know about this lot on eBay.
Just his price with delivery to Russia is too big.

I have a couple of Verbatim brand ones I bought from EduCalc back in the day, and they worked fine. They're 100% compatible with my HP82161A cassette drives. The label on the front of the cassette itself is light blue with silver lettering that says to the left of the window:

MI
80

and underneath the window says, all in lower case,

mini data cassette

On the top edge are printed numbers in blue ink, possibly serial and lot numbers:

6029 6879

on one and

6035 6879

on the other

Thanks a lot!
May be you post photo of these tapes?
Or maybe you can sell me one or two tapes (i can not find them anywhere else) ?

I found cassettes that work fine in my hp cassette system. They are made by Braemar. Model CMC80. I just bought 20 new ones for $50. They aren't that easy to find but give it a try.

What norm has the cassette? Is it a standard one like this? https://staples.de/philips/2970598.html ... 1c0d155ffb
(I am thinking buying a second hp cassette recorder for hp41; no sense if no cassette are easy available).

I just now updated the links in my post above (on page 1 of this topic) so the pictures show again. I didn't realize they had gone dead.

It sure would be nice if someone would make an SD card adapter to put in the digital cassette drive. All the HP-IL electronics are there, and the 41 could use the same HP-IL commands to access files.

It looks like it does not depend on a PC or smartphone. I like that.
