--- Quote from: tpsimon on June 26, 2017, 03:25:21 pm ---I ordered one of those boards (Intel SU810 NLX) because I have the MUCH older BL440ZX motherboard. I actually am pretty close to getting XP to upgrade on this setup (So I think). I have like 20 copies of XP Professional (all service packs). I've had a bit of success with SP2 interestingly enough. I made a copy of the other HDD to play with. Interestingly enough this scope didn't fail any of the tests. Maybe I got lucky? But it only loaded the software correctly once. I started sampling with the 80C02 characterizing a few pulses to make sure that the scope wasn't "lying" with its time domain and that all of the pulses "lined up" properly [I read your web page and looked for similar problems]. Too bad I didn't take any pictures because like I said, it won't go back. I think that the original HDD was corrupt so that explains all of the crashes. I've done quite a bit to the setup to make it run more smoothly, but it's still getting there. It might be a bad idea to try to get this current setup to run XP, but I've got until tomorrow or Wednesday until I get the motherboard so I'll just mess with it.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I managed to get a copy of the system restore stuff too for XP.

On another note: Have you heard of Win 7 running on these scopes because I found it interesting somebody was selling software for the scope to run Win 7?

Yes, I saw them on eBay last week... And they sold the same mainboard for it!. But prices were out of sight completely... and now they are gone.

Oops!. I thought they were sold by same seller, so I had not located it today  ;)

So the mainboard may be different, but they say also 512MB and 800MHz... not too fast for Windows 7, I think. Windows Experience Index is 1.0 according to the picture.
