The HP2645 does have an 8080 inside and has an escape sequence that puts
you into a loader program so you can download programs.  A HP FE said
it was for running diagnostics.

I have played a pong game on a 2645 with tape drives.  It used the
line drawing character set and was quite reasonable (you could put
quite a bit of english on the "ball").  Unfortunately, we never could
figure out how to download the program from a host so tape drives
were a must.
