ShOcK & AWE dream video... Excuse my gushing. But it was exactly what I was looking for (and like). A deep dive into REALLY INTERESTING Tek stuff. Not to mention high value infotainment and just plain COoL. I wasn't aware of this AmAziNg mod. I just pulled out the 420 I have (among others - brag, brag:) and after watching your video I am now just down right giddy. Can I say that on TH-cam? Anyway, I set the bell and will sit tight. Thanks so much. And you're a dog-guy! You RoCk!
An inspiring video that will continue to inspire long after we are gone :O\ But in itself, a form of immortality :O) 100 "Good Human Points" awarded! Cheers.
ok i just found out that if you add "startup.bat" to a floppy and put the commands in there they get executed. So no need to open up the scope and fiddle with the debug port.
Great video, thanks. I've just added FFT to my 430 by following your video. Happy days! One quick question; was that 5 or 6 of the new memory chips you added to the board?
It looks like I ordered 8 but I sometimes order extra just in case. This is line from the Mouser invoice came to around $12: 870IS62C1024AL35QLI 6 6 0 2.050 12.30 MFG Part No: IS62C1024AL-35QLI ISSI 1Mb 128K x 8 35ns 5v / SRAM\u00FE US HTS:8542320041 ECCN:3A991.b.2.b COO:TW
For some reason my scope I got from eBay was in super shape but option 1F for the floppy was not enabled. But all the hardware is there. What is the command for the enabling of the floppy drive. I had searched all over and cannot find anything on enabled floppy options. Or am I overlooking that. Video and math enabled just fine.
At least no dallas chips in this one to worry about. Have the TDS754D myself ... one of these days I will have to bite the bullet and replace them. Or mod the existing ones with an external cell.
Just tried this and it does work. Already had 1M option, so added 05 and 2F. Thanks for this video!
I am glad to help, it's fun to get the thing working at the top of its game!

Really glad you liked it! It was pretty interesting to be able to get into the scope's OS.

This is an awesome video mate!! I will use it very soon with my 420A ! Thanks
Subscribed !
Will the FFT software trick work on regular TDS420 (without "A")?
Nice work! I wonder what those memory chips cost back in the 90's? Not too bad today.
I thought those were pretty affordable!
Hello Rob. what if at 18:03 we got a "undefined symbol" error message ? (call to hwprobemathpakpresent and so...)
ok i just found out that if you add "startup.bat" to a floppy and put the commands in there they get executed. So no need to open up the scope and fiddle with the debug port.
Really?, that's pretty cool!
@@RobsFixitShop yeah just put in the floppy, boot up and your done
@@ToasterWithFur Wondering if works with all the TDS models?
@@jafinch78 it could also work with the 410 and 430 as those seem to have the same firmware

did you give up yet?
Can i mod my TDS 320 like this? Great video. Thanks!
Could you provide a product number for the probes I can run on this unit. Which probe are you utilizing in this video?
I just used probes I bought on amazon, they're nothing fancy.

Can I send you my magnavox Astro sonic stereo receiver 1968 year. R22001 BA chassis for you to look at?
