Hi,
As some of you may be aware, I managed to hose the OS on my 16500B
while trying to upgrade to the latest software. I've now got the
analyser booting again, and it seems to be working more or less OK.
Unfortunately (for me) it seems my backup (done with Filezilla, i.e.
FTP) is totally duff -- apparently I had FZ set to "transfer files with
no extension as ASCII", which has naturally hosed just about all the
System, Driver and Extension files. Which means I've lost the E2450
Symbol Utility software. Bit of a pain when you want to use the analyser
to debug microprocessor code.
Seeing as there are a few folk here with 16500B analysers, I was
wondering if I could ask a small favour... I need a copy of the Symbol
Utility install floppy, HP part number E2450-17504, aka "Symbol Utility
for HP16500B/C/CS". It should be either a normal 1.44MB DOS format
floppy, or a HP LIF floppy (more likely DOS than LIF).
If there's anyone on here with a copy of this disk (possibly stashed
away in the manuals folder for their 16500B analyser), could I possibly
ask for an image of it? Almost anything is fine; I'd prefer something
reasonably standard though -- WinImage .IMA, ImageDisk, or even a raw
"dd if=/dev/fd0 of=imagefile" (rawrite) dump.
For what it's worth, I had V3.02 installed, but I suspect I might need
something a little more recent now the analyser is running the V3.14
operating system.
Thanks,

Phil.
