PXI 8106 Controller - Restore CD

[clam_guy]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a location to download the RESTORE CD needed to convert an old 8106 Controller to RealTime.

The controller is the non-realtime controller obviously, and it is presently loaded with Windows 7. 

I need to convert the file system to FAT32 and am under the impression this is my best bet.

Thank You,

Bob

Maybe a decade ago, I did this.  I recall I "created" (and don't remember the details) a bootable USB flash drive, set switches somewhere in the 8106 to [boot from the USB, it loaded, and reformatted the hard drive to FAT32 and installed PharLap.  Once this was done and the 8106 rebooted to PharLap, MAX was used to download the various drivers.  I don't recall a DVD Drive on this unit ...  [Th]ere was also the 8176 and its 3.5" floppy (which was pretty rigid, if you ask me ...)].
