Front panel USB connectivity ? Could you shoehorn one of those USB drive bay panels in where the the floppy drive is ? |

First of all I have not been able to find USB drive panels which fit into a slimeline 3.5" drive. Secondly and worse: Windows98 starts acting up if I DISconnect the drive. This may have to do with the fact that it isn't a normal floppy drive but a combination between a floppy disk and a 120MB optical drive (pretty amazing how they put all that into such a small space). I think I'll opt for a USB extension cable. edit: Windows98 starts doing weird things when the LS120 is disconnected |

Great that replacing the hybrid turned out to be a complete fix (which was like 90% likely, but you never know until you try it). --- End quote --- Actually there still is a minor issue with channel 4. It doesn't pass vertical calibration. A quick check didn't reveal an obvious attenuator problems so maybe some gain control setting is at it's maximum. |

Interesting, given the lack of wear on that channel. But maybe they used a BNC cable or a probe that does not have power/ID pins. Could be that one of the resistors drifted after being overloaded. |
