hahaha .. i was excited when i was writing ..

i used a dpo7104 as a floppy writer, 4 floppy disks are ready
but the scope is not accepting them or for some reason is not reading them as in the pictures



 

rauldm:
You can try depress and hold select key or b-trig when you turn on the scope. With select key you can access to devel menu

sicco:
If new diskettes and a new floppy disk drive do not solve the issue, and/or,
if upgrading the 1.44" disk drive to a USB drive adapter does not solve it, then,
you might try the BDM adapter discussed extensively in this forum thread. That allows for a complete erase of the flash rom chips, and then a reprogramming of them. That will get your scope running again.

The firmware upgrade via diskettes is only modifying the application program, but keeps the VxWorks bootloader rom section as-is. The BDM backdoor adapter allows for a full wipe and re-imaging of the TDS3000 motherboard flash rom.
