In some miraculous way, my Agilent 54845A turned into 54845B (at least so it is now shown). I made a motherboard update and a software update v.4.5 for 54845B. I tried different versions of software, but only with this I got success. Previously, there was an Atlas PCI-III Series 757 motherboard based on Socket 7 and AMD K6-2 300 MHz processor and 64 MB RAM. Now the most advanced motherboard for AT-form factor with Intel 440BX chipset and Socket 370, with 133MHz bus, where the Coppermine core Pentium III processor can be installed, up to 1133MHz (or with a small upgrade of Tualatin 1400MHz) and 3x256 MB of RAM max. The new motherboard is designated Tomato (ZIDA) 60-cbxict1 Next to her on the photo is an old motherboard Atlas Series 757 I also had to replace the Ethernet controller for the PCI slot At the moment I used a P III - 733MHz processor. Subjectively, now I noticed a significantly smaller loss of the frequency of updates to the oscillogram in the mode of activation of measuring functions, than it was before. p.s. Now I found information that the manufacturer installs in the 54845B motherboard "VP22 Motorola" (Socket 370) and processor Celeron/Pentium III - 866 (Coppermine). Thus, we can assume that I received the same without changing the form factor AT. The only difference is that I still do not have a built-in CD-ROM, but it's not required too often. |

I ask because the images for it all show a Via chipset: https://www.google.com/search?q=BXv98-CU/v693&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwit6P26rbbXAhWKy4MKHSNOBswQsAQILg&biw=1518&bih=934 One on eBay has a Via chipset as well: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tomato-Board-ZIDA-BXv98-CU-V693-Socket-370-Motherboard-4-PCI-2-ISA-AGP-slots/182114467065?hash=item2a66de3cf9:g:JG4AAOSwIjNXJcE3 |

Hi Jwalling, It looks like there really is a ZIDA motherboard with exactly the same external design, but with VIA chipsets. But on my board a set of Intel chips is actually installed. On my board there is only an inscription: 60-cbxict1 30-00 (I edited my previous post). The manual was not found, but the display shows: -440BX- BIOS allows to overclock the processor bus up to 150 MHz, which corresponds to the specification 440BX. |

Have you thought about upgrading it to a 2.25GHz 54846A/B? :popcorn: |

Has someone succeeded in the calibration procedure after changing 54845 to 54846? I also have a couple of questions: how to get access to the Windows desktop in this device? What drivers are needed to use usb flash memory to save screenshots in it? |
