Hi again,

USB 1.1 is very slow and there is a risk that there
could be data glitches during hours of copying...

Which graphics / screen does this thing have and
how can it run PC DOS but not a grub boot menu?
What sort of BIOS and graphics BIOS does it have?

And actually, why can Agilent support not help you?

Have you checked the Agilent E5061A / E5062 service
guide, which is online on the Keysight homepage?

Of course a 566 MHz Celeron with 256 MB RAM is not
really modern, neither are 40 GB harddisk, but it
should be sufficient to run your tools.

The handbook mentions the BIOS password e506xa and
3 special extension boards for GPIB, DSP and I/O.

Mainboard and onboard graphics look rather normal
and you can attach standard keyboard, mouse and LCD
for OS which have no drivers for the built-in ones,
although the video out connector seems non-standard.

On the other hand, the specs here claim normal VGA:

The current version uses Windows 10, by the way:

At a price of 28000 USD you should not worry about
those 600 USD for the USB drivers, if you ask me.
