Onto the second 54831B scope. This one immediately boots up to a BIOS screen. It has 512MB instead of 256MB of memory. But it doesn’t detect a HD.

This makes sense… because when I open it up, it doesn’t have one. It also doesn’t have any of the IDE cables or the special adapter board to connect to the LS120 floppy drive.

I think I’ll simply give up on the LS120 floppy drive, but 2 IDE cables and a compact flash adapter.

That concludes the work for today.

Boot screen of the second Agilent 54831 oscilloscope.

Inside the PC section of the scope. There are no IDE cables.
