Thanks for the info on the 82335.

honestly, the 82335 works also on Linux, but to make GC run you need UniChrom.
Very good to know the reason for this; thanks!

I know that G1701DA officially supports HPIB 6890s/5973s. I know there's also a company out there that sells a patch to run 5971s/5972s on DA.
I have G1701DA here, and I'd really like to upgrade this computer to get things like long file names and just the newer less buggy software.
I'm wondering, though, if anyone has worked out a patch to run a 5890(no MSD) from DA.
That would be the same patch that runs the 5971s/5972s right? Because don't those mass specs only work with the 5890's?
5972s will work with either 5890s or 6890s. You need a different transfer line since the heater/sensor plug is different on the 6890. In addition, the ones meant for 6890s have an extra "shroud" on the front to fill the gap. They actually are branded on the front as "6890 Series Mass Selective Detector", not unlike how some some 18593B towers are branded "6890 Series Autosampler" on the front(may not have that wording exactly correct) rather than "7673."
The 5972 gets along fine with G1701BA without the patch. I think I talked to you in particular a lot about the 5971 I "converted" to a 5972-it was essentially plug and play with BA. The only change I had to make, funny enough, was running a sync cable from the 5890 to the G1512A. It would make an injection but not start the run. It makes sense that it should be there, but I didn't need one when I was using a G1512A with Chemstation "C"(the pre AA/BA etc version), nor have I seen one used when using an 18594B.
The DA patch for the 5890/5971 is done by a company whose name escapes me and who I can't find in a quick Google search. They supply a complete computer and IIRC "lock" the install to that computer, and do charge a decent amount for it(understandably). That same company will also fit metal quads to a 5971/5972.
