Man, I thought I was old school because I remember writing programs on my TI994A and saving them to magnetic cassette tape because the floppy drive wasn't available yet. I am hereby humbled.
Ah, fond memories (no pun intended). I worked with a few PDP-8s, more PDP-11s, and a ton of VAXen (~450 diskless VAXstation 2000s at once) plus many Alphas and a couple of Itaniums. But there's something about this era of computing I love. I ran an HP-1000 that had what appears to me the very same tape unit, or a close cousin. We even used it to punch a replacement loop tape for the Vertical Formatting Unit on a Centronics 703 printer.
