Hello Ulf,

The HP "ASCII" files can be converted to a Windows txt form with HPDIR. I wrote some time ago a small Windows utility that is doing this, also in batch mode (multiple files at once). I attached the 3 ASCII files from your first disk 08568-10004 (since they are small). In case it is interesting, the small program is available (I just don't want to fill the storage space of the group).

To save the binary HP PROG files, you have to load them in a HP RM Basic, and save them as ASCII (which can be converted to Windows txt format as above). This can be also done using Olivier Smet's? HP98x6 emulator and running a HP RM Basic on it on a Windows machine. The attached pdf file is describing the step by step procedure.

I will check during the week at least one-two of your PROG files for their integrity.

BR,

George/Gyorgy

I used an old 9122 Disk drive. Was able to read the disks and uploaded
the zipped contents a few moments ago into the group files area:

HP-200 Computer files used by 8566 and 8568 Spectrum analyzers ca 1984.
Folder names = Disk numbers. Read from a HP9122 disk drive, copied using
HPDIR project with TotalCommander. Files in original "PROG" or "ASCII" format.
I looked for ways to convert them into Windows .TXT format but ran out of energy...

It would be interesting if someone managed to check the integrity of the files
and of course - if they are usable.

Cheers
