Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the adjustment software
for a Tektronix TDS544A oscilloscope? It's a small DOS program that's
required to make all electrical adjustments.

According to the service manual, the same software is also used for
the TDS520A, 524A, and 540A. It's not on their web site, and I doubt
they will want to help since its over 15 years old.

Well, Tektronix was no help. What happened to that company? They
used to have good customer service, but now all they care about is
selling new test equipment. Poor legacy support has got to be hurting
their sales.

I don't expect parts to be available forever, but considering what
these things cost new, they should at least make the old software
available for download.

If I can download a driver for a 15 year laptop from IBM, then why not
an expensive oscilloscope from Tektronix?
