OK, OK. I've bit the hook. I've got a 1650B right here. Paid all of of
$50 US for mine. Please tell me how to read the disk on my Linux RH 7.3,
running a plain 2.4.27 Kernel, (as if it makes a difference) and I'll
be happy to send you the image. Also have a Fedora box sitting here, too.
Respectfully, I don't think it can be done. Don't have the url
references, but I've read some discussion about this is the distant past,
and the conclusion was a PC drive can not be used. Please prove that
info wrong; it would certainly be a useful tidbit for one/us to know.
Floppy drives are cheap, worth the risk, I guess.... ;^)

I am looking for a disk for a 1650A.

Google found references to a program called LIFUTIL for accessing LIF
disks on a DOS PC. I also found links to downloads for the 1650 from
Agilent's FTP server but the files seem to have disappeared in a
reorganization. I emailed Tech Support and they said they aren't there
since it is obsolete.

I have seen test equipment dealers selling the disks, but don't want to
spend much since I have no cables or probes either (Got the 1650 cheap
and figured I would try to make some probes after I got the s/w. Yes, I
know the probe has a terminator in it.).
