Anyone using one of these beasties? It is quite powerful allowing up to 68 channels (136 channels on the 1660) at 100MHz. I don't think there are many modern USB devices that can come anywhere close to competing. Mine is the 1662C with four pods and 2MBx32 RAM, I'm going to upgrade it to 8MB in the hopes that will give me more than 4K of storage. I am curious about other upgrades that were available for the machine, but have not found any discs archived nor manuals other than what I've posted on TTL under HP. There seems to be some sort of upgrade that allows one to connect the HP166X to a PC and run the machine via that - which should be easier than poking away at the keyboard on the machine. Agilent/HP marketed a number of LAs using similar numbers and the same control panel and look & feel of the operation. Anyone have any discs they want to copy and share? There must be a few of us using this tool still...
