I have a 1680AD logic analyzer with a corrupted hard drive which will no longer boot. It is the version with a Radisys SC815E 1GHz PIII motherboard so I am looking for an .ISO image of the 01680-14100 recovery CD/DVD.

Previously this was available at this location which is now empty:
ftp://ftp.keysight.com/cos/outbound/16xxx%20recovery%20images/01680-14100/

Can the 01680-14100 recovery CD/DVD image be made available again there so I can download it and use it to restore my 1680AD to working condition again?

Also, is an .ISO image of the 16900-14122 BIOS update CD available? The page referenced below says it previously was available here which is now empty:
ftp://ftp.keysight.com/cos/outbound/BIOS/

For reference see: How can I update the BIOS on my Keysight Logic Analyzer?

Hello,

The IT department at Keysight no longer allows data to be left on the ftp site more than 7 days, so everything that was always there was removed, leaving bare directories behind. At about the same time this decision was implemented, the person who kept track of the data you are looking for had a heart attack, and subsequently retired. All notices of this change were sent to his email, which he wasn't watching. As a result, not all data was recovered. Add in the fact that I'm the new guy (only 36 years with the company), taking over this data, and you'll find that not everything is available. I, luckily, had my own private stash of CD's and images that I'm using to fill in where possible

Now to your requests:

- 16800-14100 - That was some of the data that was lost. The -14100 discs were replaced by the -14101 discs, which are supposed to be compatible upgrades. I have put those at: ftp://ftp.keysight.com/cos/outbound/16xxx%20recovery%20images/01680-14101/

Give them a try...

- 16900-14122 - I have put that at: ftp://ftp.keysight.com/cos/outbound/16xxx%20recovery%20images/16900-14122/

Let me know how this works out for you...

I had some success in restoring my 1680AD to a working condition. Here are some of my notes for others that might also need to do this:

The installation scripts in the CD recovery sets are keyed to identification signatures in the different motherboard BIOS versions. They will normally refuse to install if the motherboard BIOS does not have the expected signature.

It is possible to bypass the standard installation scripts if the system is booted from an MS-DOS floppy disk with CD drivers installed instead of booting from the CD.

Then instead of the script automatically executing "f:\recovery\recovery.exe f:\recovery\ag169xx.xml" (where f: is the drive letter assigned to the CD drive) manually execute "f:\recovery\recovery.exe a:\ag169xx.xml" where a:\ag169xx.xml is a copy on the floppy disk of the f:\recovery\ag169xx.xml file from the CD which has had the <FrameDescription> section edited to match the BIOS signature of the motherboard in use.

I was able to use this method to install the 01680-14101 and 01680-14104 Motorola VP22 motherboard versions and the 01680-14106 ADLINK M-815G motherboard version on my Radisys SC815E motherboard 1680AD. The different motherboard versions appear to be similar enough that all of the motherboard drivers get installed correctly.

The 01680-14100 CD recovery set includes the version 02.00.0002 logic analyzer application in the restored hard drive image. The subsequent CD recovery sets do not include the logic analyzer application which must be installed separately.

Version 03.67.1008 of the logic analyzer application requires at least XP SP2. If the 01680-14100 or 01680-14101 recovery sets are used then the system must be upgraded to XP SP2, so it is best to start with either 01680-14104 or 01680-14106 which already have XP SP2 installed.

If the system is upgraded to XP SP3 I observed that the version 03.67.1008 analyzer application appears to have some compatibility issues where the analyzer service is never able to complete the initialization of the analyzer hardware. I had the best results starting with the 01680-14106 recovery set and not installing any updates past XP SP2 on my 1680AD with the version 03.67.1008 analyzer application.
