I've always wondered how HPAK expected the probe ground to connect to the grounding plug given that they have alligator clips on the probes and a socket for the ground....
Anyway, glad to see you scored there - Hopefully Jan does the OpAmp swap and it starts working too.

The probe ground is actually very easy to clip too. It isn't a regular banana socket.
I got finally my scope today.
Very big surprise when power up, start …. Boot ….. no error …. Pass al tests.
Does it pass the calibration as well?

And now the 2 cent question
How can options be enabled on infinium scopes?
If I look to what this guy did, he enabled all available options.
All Enabled Options.
64MPts, EZJIT Plus, High Speed Serial, Low Speed Serial, Force 1G, User Def Fn, eGUI, Voice, Power, PRMLpro, PRMLpro 2, PMRLpro 3, PRMLpro 4, PRMLpro 5, App Remote, Gigabit Ethernet, DVI, HDMI, USB, Wireless USB, USB3 Compliance, Xilinx Probe, Altera Probe, Fibre Channel, CAN, FB DIMM, Express Card, SATA 1, SATA 2, SATA 6 Upgrade, SAS, DDR1, DDR2, DDR3, GDDR, GDDR3, GDDR4, GDDR5, MIPI, Display Port, FlexRay, My Compliance, AP3, AP4, AP5. Some options are officially not supported for this scope model.

Got 64 MB of RAM yesterday, installed and seemed to work. Today I should have the replacement op amps in my hands. Also ordered regulator for 0.85V rail. Looking for 2.5" IDE HDD to install Win 98 (do not feel like installing on original HDD) and newer software. Also IDE CD-ROM drive is needed.
Is there RS232/SPI/I2C serial decode option for early Infiniums? Or any other options apart from USB testing voice control? All the literature I have seen has been pretty thin on that respect.
I'm not sure that the extra RAM will speed up the oscilloscope software, it seems that limited OS resources are used by the oscilloscope software, on my scope it is very responsive.
I hope that the new IC will solve your problem.

I could find a way to drop it's output voltage from 2.9 V to around 2.2 V I could fit much faster processor. Not that it would make much difference to scope performance I guess
A diode won't work because it's forward voltage depends a lot on the current. Even a Schottky diode will drop close to 1V at higher currents.
A few posts back someone described how to upgrade without disk/CDROM. You need to unpack the files to a specific directory and restart the oscilloscope.
