Re: HP 8920A Firmware Upgrade Issue
My programmer verifies the same way. Never got a FW checksum error,? always a non-recoverable fw error. I'll check for bent pins.

Re: HP 8920A Firmware Upgrade Issue
Swapping the -120 for a -150 is certainly something I can try. The signaling eprom is the latest I believe 08920-87167 from the HP/Agilent groups io file section

Re: HP 8920A Firmware Upgrade Issue
Actually one of the new firmware eproms is a -120 (faster), but I don't think that should matter. The current FW 9.15 (original HP parts) runs fine and is a mix of AM27C040, TMS27C040 and TCS574000.

You are probably correct in that the processor board is the issue.? ?The new firmware is hitting? something unused on early versions that is broken. I have never seen a firmware compatibility issue

Re: HP 8920A Firmware Upgrade Issue
Sounds irritating. Possibly the eeprom on the controller board is corrupt?
