Now that we know the final purpose of your program, I'm curious.
What kind of system is using the same cassette type?
Did you check yourself that these cassettes are readable in a 82161 drive?

Some months ago, I have been contacted by a person who wanted to buy a PIL-Box to read cassettes used in a non-HP system.
He too wanted to use a 82161 drive to read them.
I provided the PIL-Box, explicitly saying I can't guarantee it will work, but didn't have feedback then.
It was to read cassettes used in an old Data East DECO system.

BTW, I advised this person to try my ILvLIF utility (together with the PIL-Box and the 82161) to make an image of the cassettes.
