TBH I did have a company car for a bit and that did have air con. As is duty with a company car, I ragged the shit out of it and drove around with it in freezing my balls off mode while wearing a fleece in the middle of summer

Anyway back to TEA. Now due to decent upload bandwidth we have videos of new toys as well as photos!
HP 54645D stuffs...
Firstly some kindling if the world turns to shit, an actual piece of gear that came with the manual/service info. Service info is module level though but there is some diagnostic info in it. I have the schematics for this unit actually, available here if anyone wants them (383 megs!):

Genuine HP probes and documentation bag in 1990s browny grey:

MegaZoom! Note the RS232 / printer pack. There's a good old Centronics connector and RS232 port on the back. You can talk to the scope via SCPI and control literally everything on it and take screenshots etc. The Centronics port will plug into an HP Laserjet and allow you to print out hardcopies. Awesome. Need a LaserJet 4 now (any excuse!)

Now for some HD porn:
Built in Easter Egg and engineering credits. There's a game too but I didn't run that.
Measurin' shit:
Single capture MegaZoom example. Pretty good! Much better than the 2k in the earlier 54600's and a lot of Tektronix scopes even up until recent times

Money well spent. Now to find some probes!
Edit: the background noise is not the scope. I have an HP DL380 g9 going in the background

Edit 2: From the CLIP schematics:

Edit 3: Basically the whole thing is a 68k CPU, TMS320C50 DSP and a boat load of RAM.
