There isn't any 'standard' product to use the block mode terminals
in block mode from a HP-9000 but you can do it programmatically,
I mean sending the needed escape sequences etc. I did it for a
HP-9000/500 and, long before FORMS/1000, for a RTE-III HP-1000
with HP-2644 terminals and a HP-12966 BACI board, no MUX'es at that
times (circa 1976).

While there may not be an HP product for the HP9000, my company sells
form development tools that work in HP block mode on HP1000 and HP9000
computers.
