I'll keep an eye open for one.  I have an HP 2647A right behind me, waiting
for me to replace the tape drives in it....which raises an good point:

DO NOT PUT YOUR GOOD TAPES IN THE TAPE DRIVES WITHOUT CHECKING THEM FIRST!

The capstans tend to disintegrate over time.  The last half dozen machines
I've tried have had gooey capstans.  This is disaster if you put a valuable
tape in one ... the tape gets covered with goo and can't be read again,
losing irreplaceable data!

I'm trying to save the contents of about 8 tapes now, including:

   BASIC, Large Char Set, Clock, BASIC, Pong, Keep On Drivin',
   Space Invaders, Typeahead, and GodFor (no...I don't know what it is!)

These are all games/utilities/languages that load into memory on
264x terminals and then execute locally.
