WANTED: HELP WITH MOTOROLA R2600 SERVICE MONITOR

I have a Motorola R2600B Service Monitor with several of the software 
options.

It's a great all-in-one piece of test equipment, but unfortunately mine does 
not have the duplex tracking generator, which means I can't view the 
spectrum analyzer in duplex mode (i.e. to tune a duplexer by watching the 
scope). It its day, this was a software option installed by PROM, EPROM, 
EEPROM, or off a disc (I forget the details but have some old emails on the 
topic).

Motorola no longer manufactures, sells, or supports these service monitors, 
and as far as I can tell, they are orphans to which no one claims rights; 
there are plenty of them sold on the used market, but that's about it, just 
good, old gear.

I would give my eyeteeth to add the duplex tracking generator to my 
analyzer. I have some old emails that speak of the firmware upgrade option 
being read off a disc and loaded via serial cable, or read off device 
so-equipped, and a new xxPROM burned and installed to add the function.

Does anyone on the list have the software upgrade or own an R2600 with the 
duplex tracking generator installed? I will gladly cover any costs involved. 
Please contact me off-list.

Thanks and 73,

Dan
