Re: 3" disks for 8566A/B, 8568A/B on HP 9000 Series 200 Computers - Any interest in images?
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

Re: 8643A failure
This is a common failure point on these.? Simply removing and reinstalling the connector to the backplane board on mine returned it to specified voltage.? I then cleaned it with denatured alcohol

Re: microscope / high magnification camera options for soldering, faults, and other examinations/inspections
If you do consider getting a stereo microscope then I'd recommend something with prism lenses as this allows a more natural viewing angle. This does come at some expense of optical quality compared to

Re: microscope / high magnification camera options for soldering, faults, and other examinations/inspections
In the case of the Mantis, I would recommend to 'try before you buy' as the Mantis doesn't suit everyone. At work opinions are divided, some people avoid using the Mantis as they get distorted vision

Re: microscope / high magnification camera options for soldering, faults, and other examinations/inspections
The Mantis by Vision Engineering. On the prototyping bench I moved from a Nikon SMZ-1 with an after-market LED ring light to a 1st-generation Mantis about ten years ago, and upgraded to a Mantis

Re: microscope / high magnification camera options for soldering, faults, and other examinations/inspections
If you have an opportunity, check out a Mantis. Sometimes you can find good deals on used ones. They are absolutely amazing - a binocular scope without eyepieces. There's been a lot of writeup on

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

Re: microscope / high magnification camera options for soldering, faults, and other examinations/inspections
Agreed wholeheartedly. I bought a second-hand Leitz stereo microscope many years ago and have used it for all my SMD soldering. About a year ago I bought a LED ring light and that really made a

Re: microscope / high magnification camera options for soldering, faults, and other examinations/inspections
I agree with Steve Hendrix, stereo or binocular zoom microscopes are key to good eye hand coordination which requires depth perception lacking on 2D displays used with digital microscopes. Joe

Re: 8643A failure
Dear Bill, Many thanks for the update. My 8643A has displayed this fault code from time to time. I will check the connectors carefully when I take it out of the rack for oven power supply

There's also a 3.5mm standard thread, used on IEEE-488 connectors, that might be a possibility. Steve Hendrix

Re: microscope / high magnification camera options for soldering, faults, and other examinations/inspections
I have used a stereo zoom microscope from Titan Tools for several decades, for soldering mostly down to 0603, sometimes 0402, and occasionally 0201. Stereo, because you really need the depth

With all the amazing improvements to the optics and imaging electronics over the years, I don't think you'll have much trouble there, except for assessing and deciding. Even in low-light conditions
