[Test-Equipment] HP 8569 Info On-line ????

[Skip Frolik]

Hello to all,
All this talk of HP 8569's got me to thinking about
a recent purchase a buddy of mine made from DRMO.
In order to get the one item he wanted he had to
get the whole pallet but according to him it was a deal.
Well I went back to the inventory of the pallet he bought
and there is an HP 8569B in the pile. Looks like it's
never been used (still all the plastic connector covers
in place). Fact until this thread I didn't have a clue
what an HP 8569 was. Sooooo .... is there any data on
this product on-line ???? A quick input with several
of the search engines turned up very little other than
places wanting to sell one. Whether this unit is good
or not remains to be seen. I know from past experience
sometimes gear that looks this pretty might have had
problems right out of the box and got tossed in the
corner till cleaning day. Anyway any references would
be appreciated. Now that I have a better feel for what
it is I believe it would be an asset to operations here.
Thanks
