I wanted to buy an equipment cart to house the huge HP 16700A logic
analyzer I bought, and I couldn't find one that would suit my needs.
So I built it:
http://www.techtravels.org/new_la_cart.jpg
Specs were roughly
* 2x2 solid wood Poplar frame construction
* (3) 2'x2' shelves
* Birch-Veneered 3/4" plywood
* 2" casters
* Monitor on left is floating above the top project area on flexible arm
* anti-static mat
* Surge protector for connecting equipment
* sliding keyboard shelf
* Ergonomically designed heights for keyboard/monitor
It's far from perfect and weighs a ton, but it's pretty solid and I'm
happy with it.
Thought I'd share.....
Thanks,
Keith

Nice work! I should build a copy for use with my 16702A or 16700B.
Where did you get the arm for the monitor?
My 16702A has a bad LCD panel, so I'm using it with an external LCD
monitor, just like a 16700A. I'm frustrated that it doesn't support the
native 1600x1200 resolution of the Samsung Syncmaster 213T monitor that
I want to use with it. IIRC, the logic analyzer does have a 1600x1200
mode, but not at a sync rate the Samsung is happy with. The logic
analyzer has one setting that apparently supposed to be customizable,
but I can't find a way to set i up.

Unrelated: I have that exact monitor as my auxiliary monitor
in a dual-head setup because it developed quite a
few "dead" columns where either the red, green or blue
is stuck at max. There are more every year; I think I'm
probably up to about 20 now. Do you have a similar
problem? I'm wondering if it's endemic to the monitor.

I haven't used the 213T in about nine months now, but the last time I
did, I didn't notice any stuck pixels. I have an early Panasonic AL-D40
LCD monitor (14 inch, 1024x768, grey market import before LCD monitors
were marketed in US, later OEM'd by HP as D5060A), which came with one
blue pixel stuck on, but it didn't develop more.

The curious bit about this one for me is that it's stuck *columns*,
which I haven't seen before. My assumption is that some flex cable
which attaches directly to the panel for the column drivers is
developing bubbles somewhere, but since I'm not doing much aside

enough to look.
Anyway, I'm thread hijacking and it's not all that important, I was
just wondering if anyone had run into the same thing.

Eric,
Its an Ergotron neoflex lcd arm. Under $70 USD, it was the cheapest brand name I could
find. You can get them as cheap as $20 (mono price) but I wanted something reasonably
reliable. Its not perfect but the build quality is decent and I like the 3 yr warranty.
My syncmaster pictured also doesn't support the necessary 1600x1200 frame rate
(vertical 75hz, I think) A quick look through newegg didn't leave me with great
options.
Is the higher resolution really necessary? I also want to run it high but does it really
help usability or practicality? Does the screen real estate matter that much? Not judging
just trying to understand the benefit....
Thanks
Keith

I suppose there's some upper bound to usefulness of screen real estate,
but I haven't hit it yet.

From comp.sys.dec
I found a cache of NOS RL01/2 absolute filters (equivalent to DEC p/n
1213097) at the Filter Factory in Santa Ynez, California
(www.thefilterfactory.com),
phone 805.733.2180. They have 40 in stock. Price is $28.60 each,
shipping for a single filter to 60091 was $8.27. I ordered one to verify
dimensions and construction - perfect match for the original part. The
filters were manufactured by HEPA Corporation (still in business) but
minimum order quantity from HEPA is 100 units. Filter Factory will _not_
be ordering after the current stock is gone.
Get'em while you can!
