They found something on Agilent's Website. One question, how
do you plan to use a DOS formated Disc on the LIF formatted
drives in the 16500 ? Maybe the 16500C's drives are DOS
formatted, I don't know ? I know HP's older instruments
were not DOS compatabile. Take Care.
P.S. Let me know what you find, I am curious what you come
up with.
I work in a calibration lab too.

I poked around on the Agilent site, but could not find any
downloads for the 16500C. ???
As to LIF formatting - I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I
could install an HPIB card into my computer, hook up
the 16500C, and upload the files through the bus.
I also remember seeing something on the NG about
where to download the 16500 files, but when I did
a search on deja.com, nothing showed up.
Anyway, thanks for your reply! If I find out anything
useful, I will e-mail you.

I seem to remember the floppy being one of the bits that was
replaced when our 16500B's were upgraded to C's. I'm sure it'll
read/write DOS format floppies. If you have the Ethernet interface
option then you could FTP into it too. (Maybe no help if you've
not got any software on it yet, though. ;-) I've only ever used
HPIB to attach a printer, I doubt you can load software over
it (but might be wrong).

Mike.

acquisition package (HP-85869A) which was supplied on multiple 3.5"
floppies. When the workstation gave out, I got a PC and updated the software
to the HP-85869PC.
The 85869PC software was supplied on DOS formatted 3.5" 1.44MB floppies. The
PC software runs in HP Basic for Windows (which has to be loaded into the
standard PC first). As a part of the loading, the PC software needs to read
some of the LIF format disks from the "A" version.
HP includes a little loader / translator which allows you to just stick the
LIF disk into the PC DOS disk drive and read the disk. The translated file
is then stored in DOS format on your PC's hard drive.
I don't know what or how they do it, but the PC definitely can read the LIF
disks. And that utility is part of the HP-85869PC application.

(By any chance did the HP 11672A kit ever surface in your inventory?)

I used to have to translate LIF to DOS many years ago .. there were
2 products on the market at the time - one by a company called
"A Gentle Wind", the other by "Oswego Software". They were for
HP85/86/87 disk conversion, as well as HP9000/310, 320 machines.
(But both used different disk formats and BASIC versions, but
could write LIF as native or via a utility).
There were some differences between the two - but I cannot remember
what they were. I know I have at least one of the packages here, so
if you want further info I can dig them up and let you know what
I can find out ...
Tony.
