Re: My 6655 thinks it is a 6653

I don't really know enough about running HP BASIC programs to say for sure, but HT BASIC does look like a promising option to me.
Another option would be to figure out what the program is doing and run the GPIB commands manually. From a quick glance over it, it first defines arrays of data addresses & lengths and different arrays of values for the different models. When copying the array of values to be used, it replaces positions 21 and 32 with the model# selected (e.g: it replaces 6555 with 6655).
For the "initialization" mode it turns on cal mode with "CAL:STATE ON,<passcode>", writes each value to the eeprom with "DIAG:EEPR <address>,<length>,<value>", then turns off the cal mode again with "CAL:STATE OFF".
Hmm, ok. So if I bought something like HT BASIC to run the listed program from pages 66 to 71 that should theoretically fix it then? Just asking for thoughts and input before I go out and just buy that.
