That's the one thing I think is impossible. The problem is that there's no 2K drivers for the acquisition controller.

There must be an upgrade kit that consists of one or two RAM modules, an XP license and
obviously, the drivers for XP. So, they must exist somewhere.
N5383A Infiniium Performance Upgrade kit for 54846B
win98 ? XP pro 256MB ? 512 MB $495
I have a 54846B that booted increasingly slow and finally the disk showed many read errors.
I replaced the 20 G unit by a 80G unit that I used to have in a Dell Laptop and reserved
some of the space for a Linux Partition. (Knoppix) That made it easy to setup the new Win98.
For the fun of it, I even succeded to run Libre Office on the 54846B, but it was slow as
molasse. Somewhere I have a screen shot. :)
regards,
Gerhard

I have come to the same conclusion. Windows XP runs OK on my 54845 and the software should be compatible as well but the driver for the acquisition card is missing. I have pulled all my Google-fu tricks and then some but I have not been able to find the drivers. I wish someone would make the XP drivers available because Windows XP has better support for USB devices.

It seems this applies to the software for Infiniium 54830, -31, -32. I'm not sure, but I think that it uses advanced ACQ board and faster data transfer interface. It may be that the software for 54830 (1) is not compatible with the oscilloscopes 54825, -35, -45(6). You could check this by installing the disk image for 54830. A link to the archive containing the disk image I saw somewhere in this topic.

I'm certain that XP was never used in these first generation Infiniium scopes: 54810A through 54825A, 54835A, 54845A, and 54846A.
B versioned scopes are another matter, as are the 54830 and 54850 series...
If you really want better/native USB support, Win ME (yuck) is certainly possible. >:D
