Agilent 54835A scope (4 channel 1GHz / 4Gs/s) repair & uphack
alpher:
The thing is that I'm using the original HP/Agilent recovery images that have to have the proper drivers etc.
Would be really nice if someone with a real 54845B could look inside and tell what is the actual chipset that the motherboard is based on.
I know that the original 54845A is a socket 7 system , can be VIA , Intel HX and possibly others.

Doesn't matter what the HW is it still needs the right drivers.
Treat this stage like you would for building a custom PC and get the correct driver for each piece of HW and NOT from the first source you find online but from the HW maker.
Only resort to other online sources if the manufacturer doesn't have the driver (or driver package) available for download. (unlikely)

I don't think that you grasp the problem at hand here, there is not a driver or software package available for these scopes.
All you have are a couple of recovery images that include the OS (windows 98 first edition most likely on the 54845B ,for sure on 54845A) plus the necessary drivers plus custom scope application, that is. There's no more AFAIK ?.

Oh yes I certainly do.
It's a PC first running scope SW. Any scope running Windows should be thought of like this.
Get the PC bit right and the rest will fall into line.
Have a squiz through this thread and it may open your eyes:

Just trying to help. ;)

I've read the first page, will keep reading for the sake of it, but have a distinct feeling of wasting my time there.
At first glance , apples and very old oranges.
We're talking windows 98 (first edition) versus upgrading P4 to a dual core or more. :-DD
