I updated the patch in the beginning of the year, and iirc it worked: https://github.com/svenschnelle/qemu/tree/pciia

I finally calibrated my 744A last week, and discovered a few things while doing so , and decided to share a few tips in a video https://youtu.be/wSqTj4gGCJU
Here are the main points :
- Supported ISA GPIB cards : https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/automating-tektronix-field-adjustment-software-for-tds-oscilloscopes/msg1388658/#msg1388658
- CVR calibration does NOT absolutely require a metrology-grade DC calibrator like the DP8200, EDC 501 etc. But does need something better than just a lab PSU
- CVR calibration needs +- 9.5V at the highest setting (not 104V as the service manual indicates) ; look at your "CVRCAL.500" file to confirm
- HF cal needs 505MHz for a 500MHz scope, at +16 to +17 dBm. Many signal generators cannot do this, but a simple RF amplifier will do the trick.
- HF cal : watch out for lossy coax cable (e.g. RG58 ) ! Even 0.6dB of loss caused problems. Manually compensating that loss worked OK.

Hello dxl,
How is you project for automating the FAS 'Router' advancing?
Do you have any news, more details?
