My HP 16702A logic analyzer has developed bad sectors on the disk, which today prevented me from accomplishing anything while trying to help John with his Z80 system issues.
(Current issue: peripheral card works when directly plugged directly into test CPU board, but not when plugged into test CPU board via an extender board, or into the "real" system with or without the extender.)
The 16702A has an internal SCSI drive. If I had money to spend, I'd get a SCSI2SD to replace that.
@philpem I just got an SD card set up for a BlueSCSI v2 for the 16700A. If that works, I'll have to upgrade my other 1670x analyzers.
At some point I'd like to get a WORKING 16702A or 16702B so that I have at least one that I can use without an external monitor. The LCD in my 16702A is non-functional.
@brouhaha@philpem good luck. a few years back i was able to successfully replace the original drive in my own 16702a with an image of it on a scsi2sd v6 back when that was the scsi device du jour, so i figure you ought to have luck if you've got an original disk image to work with...
@narylis@philpem
The 16702A recognizes the BlueSCSI emulated CD and HDD, but it complains that the CD doesn't have a LIF header.
Maybe the .iso I used is bad. After lunch I'll try another.
@narylis@philpem It was operator error on my part in copying the image to the SD card. Did it again, correctly, and now the 16702A booted from it and is installing. Yay!
