Pictured is the FDD in my HP35670A which is actually a later Agilent version made in Malaysia with a black fronted FD which you may have noticed has no 4pin power connector on the left side Using a USB memory stick directly on the analyser as if it were in a FDD should be a good feature but in practice getting the 'cheap' Gotek emulator to work was not that simple ~ Apart from a non standard FD interface on my HP35670A the Gotek emulator has little support and the green LED indicated nothing useful
Several years ago I managed to get the 16bit windows 2000 programs I use with the HP35670A analyser to run in 64bit windoze 10 using WineVDM and retired an old desktop that had a floppy drive ~ I then stored 35670A files in the analyser and down-loaded them via a USB GPIB lead but the analyser had to connect to a PC via a USB cable
It's 2020 and corona virus lockdown in the UK lets me start and sometimes even finish some long overdue projects like putting a USB Floppy Disk Drive emulator in my trusty HP35670A (Agilent AT35670A) FFT signal analyser ~ What should have been a simple purchase and fit project turned out to be more interesting due to a non standard TEAC Floppy Disk Drive (FDD)
