Is it a 16500? If so, you might see if you can scrounge up a 16505A, which might be able to network much faster (plus, it supports VNC and has a nice (for the time) graphical display. The 16505A is basically a PA-RISC pizza box that hooks up to the 16500 via a SCSI cable on the back, and adds some X11/Motif GUI happiness on top. I took a quick look around eBay and saw one for ~$275, but you might be able to get one cheaper if you look.
Side note: it was called a "Prototype Analyzer" because it was meant for analyzing prototypes, but we had more than one customer tell their salesperson to come back later when it was out of the prototype stage.
- kens 10y agoThe logic analyzer is a 1670G; Marc collects vintage HP equipment, although technically this is Agilent.
- eric_the_read 10y agoEh, 1999 was right when the split happened, so regardless of the label, it was still basically an HP product at the time. Still, that doesn't help you much; the 16505A only worked with the 16500 series analyzer. There was a 16700, IIRC, that was basically an 16500C with an integrated 16505A, but that doesn't help you much.

- eric_the_read 10y agoYou might try mounting it via NFS; it's also quite possible that the serial port might be faster for getting traces off the box than its relatively anemic ethernet support.
- kens 10y agoThe serial port is also slow as molasses. If we want a full download, Marc will run it over the serial port overnight. We haven't tried NFS.
