Hi,
  Does anyone here use a HP 1650B or 1651B logic analyser? I'm thinking about
buying one and I've got a few questions that I need answering.
  - Besides HP themselves, were there any second-sources of the little grey
    "grabber" tips that connected up to the connector pods? The analysers
    seem to be quite regularly listed on ebay, but the pods and grabbers seem
    to be about as easy to find as a lump of 99.9% pure unobtainium.
  - Does anyone know if the disk drive fitted to the 1650B is capable of
    writing to 1.44MB disks or is it strictly 720K only?
  - Does anyone know of a source for manuals for the 1650B, either in
    electronic format (i.e. Djvu or PDF) or on paper? Has anyone written and
    published a quick-reference card of some form?

Ordinarily I would check the HP (well, Agilent) website, but the sum of the
info provided by Agilent is basically, "No support, no parts, perhaps you'd
like to buy one of our new analysers?"

Also, do any of the Ebay nuts here know what happens if, for example, I did
this:
  1) I place a bid of $50
  2) Someone bids up to $20
  3) I place a bid of $95

Assuming the bid increment is $1, would the bid at (3) cancel out the bid at
(1) (meaning the price stands at $51) or would it increase my maximum bid and
leave the current bid at $21? This kind of situation doesn't seem to be
covered by Ebay's online help.

Thanks.
