Hello, I have this old machine (FW 19970603), and I wanted to add floppy drive. Mostly for saving screen shots. So, I bought one E4401-60008 floppy drive board on eBay and installed it in my machine. I checked its presence in system menu and everything seems to be OK. Machine displays: UTA: 3,5" floppy disk
But, I can't save nothing to floppy, only to internal memory.
Can anyone give me an advice?
Thanks

Hi Mike,
thanks for Your answer. It is pity. Don't want anyone to buy this floppy drive? :-)

Mike,
I am confused.
On page 9 of Agilent Spectrum Analyzer selection Guide, 5968-3413E it shows that the ESA-L is equipped with a floppy drive.
I can understand that, but what he has is not an ESA-L, its an ESA-L1500.
The ESA-L is the E4403B, E4408B, and the E4411B. What he has in the E4411A.

Mike,
Thanks for clearing that up.
Keeping track of all the variations between instrument versions and models has to be a real challenge for you guys!

I'm afraid you bought a floppy drive board that only worked in the ESA-E series instruments. It was never used in the E4411A instruments. The firmware for the E4411A did not support a floppy drive...
