Default Floppy drive broken in HP4145B Parameter Analyzer

Suggest contacting HP directly and ask if they have a part source or a
viable alternative that will be fiscally acceptable.

Hi,

we are still using the obsolete HP4145B Parameter Analyzer. It's a
wonderful piece of equipment and it does the job.
Although it is hooked up to GPIB, it still needs the floppy drive with
a bootdisk. Unfortunately the floppy drive broke and Agilent does not
have any spare parts. Even though it is 3.5" it is not compatible with
the common PC floppy drives. Any idea to work around this (except
buying new equipment)?

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks,
David
