Replace Floppy drive on HP5462x HP5464x Oscilloscope with USB or memory card bay
(1/2) > >>
euzer:
Can anyone recommend a suitable replacement for the floppy drive on a  HP5462x HP5464x oscilloscope, specifically HP54622D that supports a USB host of memory card slot to support saving of images and data to?

The current drive in the scope is a TEAC FD-05HF-5630U Micro Floppy Disk Drive.

You have to look for a floppy emulator.

There are several options:

You need to do your homework on such floppy emulators as I have been told many cheap ones are less than great to use. I was considering fitting one in my Advantest R3132 spectrum analysers but was put off by several members of this forum warning against them. I ended up buying some spare TEAC drives for the SA's and USB floppy disk drives for my PC's.

Jean-François Del Nerohas has a good reputation for his floppy disk emulators, but they are more expensive than Chinese offerings. Yer pays yer money, and takes yer choice  ;)

If I was buying one, it would be one of the Lotharek models that best suited my needs.

Double check it's a floppy interface. My inffinium scope has it's floppy on the IDE bus.

I've used the Lotharek floppy emulators on both a PhilIps PM3585 logic analyzer and a Sinclair QL, works a treat.
The versions with the lcd do make it easier to switch images etc etc.
