Sorry, 16903A - you're right, there's no B version of the 16903.
The problem of no ATX I/O bezel takes 20 or so minutes to solve with a drill, a hacksaw, and some files, or a dremel, or something similar (ideally a mill, but I'm guessing most people don't have a mill).? You just cut an ATX I/O shield sized hole in the existing back panel and then pop in the IO shield that matches the new mobo. The back panel insert is aluminium - it drills / cuts / files really easily. With a few screws, you can completely remove it from the rest of the case to not get metal filings everywhere. The tricky part is not bending the thin web left at the bottom after you cut the hole and while filing it smooth.

Is that 16903A or 16903B? I hadn't heard of an '03B.
? you can install a generic Windows 7, and then install the logic analyzer application on top of that and it works fine (even better if you upgrade the motherboard / cpu / ram / ssd first). I think on the 16902B, there's a couple of registry keys you need to set so the software doesn't complain about "incompatible frame" or something like that.
There's a long thread about it on EEVBlog.
Good to know. I'll go find that thread. Thanks! ? Installing a different motherboard in the 16902B looks like a challenge, as it doesn't use a normal ATX I/O bezel. However, I'm thinking about trying a setup with the PCI board from inside the analyzer (16903-66404) plugged into a PCIe-to-PCI adapter into a modern PC. Windows should abstract away the PCIe-to-PCI bridge, which in any case looks like a superset of a PCI-to-PCI bridge, so there's a reasonable chance that it might work, and it's a fairly easy experiment to try.
Until now, all my HP (etc.) logic analyzer experience has been with the primordial 5000A, ancient 1600A/1607A, antique 1630A/D/G and 1631A/D, very old 16500A/B/C, and old 1670xA/B. Even though the 1670x were a huge improvement over the 16500C, they still are pretty darned slow to deal with deep captures on a 16557D or 16750/51/52.
