Re: Help! I bricked a perfectly functioning 2467B!
Thanks Reinhard but I am not the OP with the issue-- just trying to offer help with the 68xx programming if neccessary. Hopefully Don will also see your response. I do have one of the required TM500

Re: Help! I bricked a perfectly functioning 2467B!
Chris, Your other alternative is to just go ahead and re-calibrate it. That is what I did with mine, and although it takes some time, it isn't hard, just slog through the maintenance manual steps

Re: Help! I bricked a perfectly functioning 2467B!
I wish I could offer more direct help but time is short here currently. However, I can offer that you may not need to get Linux running on a machine just for this effort. Now, I am a nearly exclusive

Re: Help! I bricked a perfectly functioning 2467B!
Hi Chuck, Thanks for the suggestion. I do have a spare PC that I can install Linux on and I will be acquiring an EPROM burner shortly. However, I have no experience whatsoever with programming so

Re: Help! I bricked a perfectly functioning 2467B!
Hi Don, It occurs to me that if you have a linux machine, and a eprom burner, you could fix your problem by simply creating an eprom that has the 6808's jump table, and a two line program that copied

Re: Help! I bricked a perfectly functioning 2467B!
As far as the A5 board goes, there is no difference between the 2467B and the 2465B. They are identical. There is another way that I was just reminded was done by someone on tekscopes. He wrote a

Re: Help! I bricked a perfectly functioning 2467B!
Something you said earlier rang a bell in my feeble memory... once upon a time I replaced the capacitors on a memory board. The new, uncharged capacitors looked like a momentary short and dumped the

Re: Help! I bricked a perfectly functioning 2467B!
Chuck, Thank you very much for your response. As you correctly surmised, I took care to use an ungrounded soldering / desoldering iron and the backup battery was soldered to the PCB of the A5 board (I

Hi Don, I'm here, and a few other places too. Typically, losing the calibration data while changing the battery happens when you forget that your soldering/desoldering iron tip is grounded, and you

Re: standalone sampling head use
In short: "I can stick a 1S2 into a 132 power supply and use the 1S2 with a Rigol scope" is not what it takes. Just realized I made a mistake here: you¡¯re not talking about putting a sampling head

Re: standalone sampling head use
The power supplies you mention only make sense for straight analog plug-ins. If you want to create a sampling 'scope front end, you need a vertical input *and* a special time base. Devices like a 1S2

Re: standalone sampling head use
Tekwiki shows the 285 power supply and 286 multiplexer.? The 285 looks like just a power supply so probably intended to use with an S50 or S52 pulse generator. Roger

yes anything is possible but perhaps not worth the effort. Suggest that you first Read up on sampling: Tektronix Circuit Concepts books at W140, https://w140.com/tekwiki/wiki/Concepts_Series sampling

standalone sampling head use
I can stick a 1S2 into a 132 power supply and use the 1S2 with a Rigol scope, for example. For the 560-series there's the 129, but it's quite large, rare, and seems to need more stuff before I can use
