This is an interesting site for HP163x logic analysers: http://www.rudiswiki.de/wiki9/HP1631Info Somewhere on the web there is a project to emulate the external storage via the HP1360's GPIB interface. This allows you to load-up the inverse assemblers etc.. I thought the project was on the above site - but I can't find it now. |

It requires a PC running Windows with a GPIB interface that the software supports. It tried it with a 1630D and got it to work for loading configuration and inverse assembler files. http://www.hp9845.net/9845/projects/hpdrive/ |

Of course I'd spent 10 times that by the time I had a full set of pods and grabbers but I figure I can always keep those to use with a newer analyzer if the need arises. It has already paid for itself as I used it to repair a piece of vintage gear for someone. It would be great to have a list of symbols for the 6502, Z80 and other chips of the era. My unit has a floppy drive built in, as well as a hard drive and HP-IB. I'm a novice when it comes to using these things but I've managed to figure out enough for it to be useful. --- End quote --- I also have a 1660C. It is a couple of steps up from the 1630 series (with the 1650 series in between) with a lot of improvements in usability. Built in hard drive and floppy drive for saving configuration, inverse assembler, and data files, PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, Ethernet interface for remote control and copying files to/from the system, ability to print the screen and data to disk files, deeper sample depth (although 4K can still be somewhat limiting). If you got one for $25 that's a decent deal, but as you say if it didn't come with pod cables and breakout leads you can end up paying a lot more for those. I have the following set of CPU preprocessor modules which mate with a 10269C interface. Some of these would also work with a 1630 series with a 10269A/B interface. The 10269 interfaces are easy to find, the preprocessor modules are not. 10300B (64683A) Z80 10304B (64655A) 8085 10305B (64653A) 8086/8088 10307B (64672B) 6800/6802 10308B (64671A) 6809/6809E 10311B (64670A) 68000/68010 10312B (64657A) 80286 10314B (64659A) 80386 10342B RS-232C/V.24, RS-499, HP-IB bus preprocessor interface. |

I am interested in knowing how to translate the control signals from Z80 to the 4-bit STAT bus that the Z80 inverse assembler needs. |

This is the nearest thing I can find to what I had in mind http://dalton.ax/hpdisk/ I am sure there was a more polished version somewhere - perhaps my memory is going! |
