Well, I have had some time to check your program. Brilliant !!!  :-+ :-+ :-+

I have been able to enter BIOS settings on the Intel BL440ZX mainboard and then restart the unit with the old Windows 98 SE software (which came with the unit). With it, the touch panel and the front panel controls work flawlessly :D

So it seems a matter of Windows XP software. I will reinstall the Windows XP-compatible mainboard and will try to get the unit fully working. I will let you know what I find.

Thanks again!

There are other threads discussing the close cousin of your scope:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/tek-csa7404-repair-project/
I think the PC motherboard is the same. Somebody over there discussed the subject of drivers for Win XP and they might even be posted at Tin's web site.
Good luck  :)

Yes, I found the reason on that thread  :clap:

This is the relevant information:


--- Quote ---The only hardware configuration necessary is to set the two USB jumpers for the front panel setting as the second USB port is used to connect to the oscilloscope's front panel through the NLX backplane connector.
--- End quote ---

Once I have modified the default jumper position, on next boot the front panel controls and the touch panel have worked fine  :-+

Now for the next problem: compensation fails on this unit. And also on my two other semi-working units!  |O

Hey,
I'm working on fixing one of these too. By any chance do you know what the B: drive is. I've been looking all over for it. I have a feeling that it has to do with the NLX interface because I've tried plugging in different drives, removing them, swapping out the RAM, etc. I'm getting some floppy discs tomorrow so I'm guessing that I can just put a DOS program on there and execute the CMOS file (As I have the same issue with getting into the BIOS). I so happened to just have one, and I got something only once, but then it never booted to the Floppy again, which I thought was weird. One other interesting artifact that I found was that the PowerPC doesn't ever get past a certain point. I have attached the output below:

But It never gets passed the Backplane anchor,
Any ideas?
This program is in the Flash on the Motherboard. The HDD seems like it's broken because it rattles, but when I plug it into a converter I am able to get all of the files off of it (so I made a backup). So I am kind of stuck here. I mean the other possibility is that this is just a motherboard issue, so I have a motherboard on its way to see how that turns out. Anyways if you have any input or thoughts on the problem(s), I'm all ears.

Thanks,

Simon

If the PC mainboard is not starting up right, I think it is normal for the POWER PC one to get stuck at the point you show.

What I did to get back to work the older PC mainboard (not the newer one for XP) was to place the BIOS jumper on the 2-3 position (the jumper just side-by-side the CMOS battery, which is usually between 1-2) and then put an MS-DOS 6.2 boot disk on drive A. Yes, I got also the Drive B not ready error, but after that, the mainboard booted and I was able to run the corrupt.exe program.

On next reboot, it entered BIOS SETUP and I was able to reset to default values, change the VIDEO BOARD to PCI (so it uses the built-in display) and then exit saving info. I put back the jumper to 1-2 and then I got back the Windows 98 SE functionality.

I hope this helps!

Regards,

Jose
