I got here a sick MT8802A with SA option 07 on my bench. It boots to an error "System error! 33". I followed the service manual and enabled on the back of the front panel one dip switch for verbose mode and this showed more Information: The ATA card error (see pic) revealed that the 20 MB PCMCIA ATA card is obviously dead. Looks like this card contains some very important files for the boot process. The PCMCIA card is hidden under a small metal cover fixed with 2 screws and easy accessible from outside on the rear of the device. I have a reliable PCMCIA Reader with my PC and this PCMCIA card is definitly dead. I have some other PCMCIA ATA flash cards with similar age and they are all working properly. It would be a great help, if MT8802a owners could create a disk image (I use Win32diskimager) of his working card and could share it. A backup is always useful. I dont want to abandon this great TE already now... Thanks in advance for your Support. PS: Yahoo Groups holds already an old thread regarding MT8802, but i didn't got a reply yet. |

Good luck! |

I have an old Dell D820 laptop that has a PC card slot, hopefully that will be able to read the instrument's PCMCIA card. |

@howardlong: That would be really great! Thanks for spending your time in this! I hope file size after compression is not too big. What brand of flash Card is in your MT8802a? I have a IOdata PCFCA 20m Pcmcia flash ata card. It's from 1999 and basically based on Sandisk. |
