Well, it finally happened: the floppy disc drive on my HP 4145B Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer ate itself for lunch. I'd left it running for months, because I wasn't sure how long it would last after the previous repair, and with the Labor Day shutdown at the lab, it indeed came up very, very sick.
Those floppy drives are tough to find, because they're what always break. Does anybody know of a place to get one?
Alternatively, given that I've already spent my capital budget for the year, any suggestions on a simple way of making nice accurate I-V curves without using Labview?
Thanks,
Phil Hobbs
