HP 82176A Mini Data Cassette

Date:

1982–mid 1980s

Material:

Iron oxide on polyester tape; plastic shell

Company:

Hewlett Packard Company

Location:

Palo Alto, California

Used in the 82161A tape drive with the HP 41 calculator. Similar but not identical to the Philips mini-cassette intended for audio recording. An extra notch at the top and a slightly different opening at the bottom meant the Philips cassette would not fit into the 82161A drive.
