I run a good-sized FTP archive that currently contains, among other things,
EPROM (firmware) images for Tektronix test gear that they no longer make or
support. This is done to provide a repository of image files that one can
use to make a new EPROM if one should fail (yes, they do fail on occasion).

By sending me an archive with 8566B EPROM images in it, John Miles has made
it clear that doing the same for HP stuff would probably be a good idea. So
be it! I welcome contributions for the archive subject to the following
conditions.

(1) Any firmware or software sent should be for equipment that HP/Agilent
no longer manufactures or supports.

(2) If what you're sending is related to current equipment, it must be
publicly available for download from HP/Agilent as well. In other words,
HP/Agilent needs to have given permission, in some way, for its release.

(3) Submissions should be compressed with ZIP or a similar scheme. Files
with .exe extensions will be rejected by my firewall, so choose carefully.
;-) Send submissions to kyrrin (at) bluefeathertech dot com.

(4) My spam filters have been known to be overzealous. If you try to send
me something, and it bounces, try sending me a note (WITHOUT the file
attachment) to kc7gr at qsl dot net (my backup address). Include the bounce
notice, and I will see what I can do about punching a hole in the filters so
you'll be able to get through.

For downloading, the host is ftp.bluefeathertech.com. Log on as 'anonymous'
(minus the quotes), and send your E-mail addy as your password. The path is
/pub/electronics/testgear, and you will see subdirectories below that.

Please keep in mind the following limitations.

(1) Download speed for anonymous logins is capped at 128K, and there's a
limit of five simultaneous logins permitted. This is done to make the most
of a limited bandwidth pipe (my DSL line). If you're not able to get in at
any one time, please try again later.

(2) Certain ISPs and IP ranges may be blocked from accessing the archive at
all, due to ongoing spam and virus transmissions. If you find you cannot
access the archive, drop me a note with details of what you're looking for.
If I have it, I'll send it along.

Thanks much.
