Hi, I'm looking for some (technical!) information on the HP E2447AA or E2447AB probe pod (for using a HP logic analyser to monitor a 68000 CPU). I need to probe a DIP64 packaged 68HC000, but the E2447AA/AB are for PGA parts. So I figured I'd make a "top hat" PCB to adapt the 68k to a bunch o

I was the mass storage region specialist for HP Australia when these came out. They were pretty reliable and compared to the previous 7970 and 7974 drives that had start/stop capstans, they were pretty good on tapes. I just restored a 7980XC (HP commercial version of the 88780) and it all worke

Will is right. You have to convince them that it will be worth their time to sort that particular item out, find packaging to send it and deal with the typical book keeping required by their particular state, as compared to the time/return of just tossing it into the fire to burn off the undesir
