All three of the side A dumps are missing programs 12-18, they only have “<BINARY>” placeholders. These seem to be the programs which actually drive the async probe, so it seems unlikely that it would operate without them. Perhaps binary data can’t be transferred via the serial port? I’ll be very annoyed if that’s the case, since working tape drives are rare and I don’t think anybody has figured out how to repair them.

Those appear to be downloads from the TTL FTP site. The last time I 
tried to extract the data was 2002, and as I had no real use for the 
Async I never tried again.

Look for a file called SA-ASYNC.H - that is on the TTL FTP site under 
Fluke/9010%20Scripts - I think that is the HEX file copy I made back in 
2002...note that it is stored in ASCII, so you can upload it via the 
RS-232/USB/etc port.
