Re: Tek 4041 GPIB Controller
Dave Brown,
I found the NOS DC100A tapes on EBAY. Since these tapes are obsolete (over 20 years) - some of the sellers on EBAY have previously used tapes, some have new tapes still in factory

Re: Tek 4041 GPIB Controller
Dave Brown,
There are three ways to interface to the 4041 that I see from the documentation. #1 is the intended case for GPIB instrument tests, likely writing test results to the tape.

Very interested in how you find those tapes. If they are OK then programming them might be a challenge?
