Hi, gang,
With thanks (again) to Fred de Vries, the following additional file(s) are now available on the Blue Feather FTP archive at ftp.bluefeathertech.com.
File name: 2465CTS.zip
Path: /pub/electronics/testgear/Tektronix/firmware
Version: Unknown
As always, please keep the following restrictions in mind when accessing the archive: (1), There is a five-user limit for anonymous logins at any one time. (2), Download speed is capped at 128Kbps.
Both of these limits are designed to maximize availability of the archive for all, taking into account the limits of my DSL pipe. Regrettably, I cannot yet afford a T1 or F-T1 line.
Access to the archive is best made with a real FTP client program as opposed to a web browser. This is because transfers made through a web browser are often slower, due to translation between the HTTP and FTP protocols. There are plenty of freeware and low-cost shareware FTP clients available. My personal favorite is WS_FTP, by IPSwitch Software, widely available from download sites all over the planet (including Tucows.com and ftpplanet.com).
When logging in, be sure to specify 'anonymous' (spelled out, no quotes) as your user ID. Your E-mail address is preferred as the password, but it is not a requirement (really, just about anything that contains printable ASCII characters will work).
CONTRIBUTIONS: Further contributions to the archive are always welcome, subject to the following conditions.
(1) Whatever you submit must be firmware or software that is NO LONGER SUPPORTED OR SOLD by Tektronix, or it must be directly related to equipment that is no longer supported or sold. Firmware or software relating to CURRENT Tektronix equipment WILL NOT be posted for download unless Tektronix makes the same file(s) publicly available from their own site.
(2) Contributions should be sent via E-mail attachment to 'kyrrin at bluefeathertech dot com,' and should be archived with any of the common compression utilities, such as Power Archiver, WinZip, Gzip, etc.
(3) The preferred format for EPROM or EEPROM image files is Absolute Binary (Data I/O #16). This helps to guarantee compatibility with the widest possible range of device programmers. HOWEVER -- Other formats, such as Intel Hex or Motorola S-record, may be submitted with a note indicating the format used.
(4) The preferred format for PAL or PLD image files is a standard JEDEC fuse map.
Thanks to all for your contributions and interest.
