I just picked up an HP 1670e logic analyzer from eBay. Good price, and has all the probe leads for every pod (that was the main draw).
I don't have it in hand yet, but it is the first piece if older equipment I've gotten that contains a hard drive. It was advertised as working, but I'm gonna assume that drive is gonna fail eventually.
My main question is, is the firmware in ROM, or is having that drive drive fail the kiss of death? I also wonder how reliable the floppy drive on it is. I ordered a GPIB to USB adapter, but would prefer to use the floppy for things like firmware upgrades, and loading inverse assemblers.
Thoughts?
