Hi,
Would you be willing to share it? You could also mail it and i can add it to the drive link.
Cheers,
If we could get hold of somebodies image of their HDD (or key files) of their UPL with that option, I would be more than willing to help reconstruct the installer.
Hello,
As I proposed, on my side I am happy to share the images of the UPL HDD I purchased in the past but none of them has the B23 option unfortunately…
Let me know how you want to proceed?
I can give you an access to my server to download them or upload them to a location you will choose.
Thanks.
Thanks for offering but that would not give us the files we need. Let’s see if there is someone here who can help us…
Cheers,
Bart
Hi All,
Here is an update on the UPA Test CD.
Thanks to thebrunx for sharing the test cd. It was no trivial feat as R&S saved the audio image and no separate files. I was able to extract the archive and exported the raw information to each Wav file. I've also added the original download as well.
All files can be found on my drive under Modules. I have added several other application notes and modules from the R&S site as well.

I have also restructured the booklet so you can reprint it duplex on your own printer.
Cheers,
Bart

Hi All,
Here is an update on the B23 Option - Coded Audio Signal Generation.
I have found an UPL that had the option installed. After some digging I found the missing files.
On the C-drive there will be a folder called CODED. In there are necessary files for the option.
Since these files are too big to fit on a floppy, I have recreated an installer to fit onto 3 floppies like the original.
Here is an excerpt of the readme file:
========================= README.B23 ================================
Software Option UPL-B23 'Coded Audio Signal Generation'
Version: 1.0
=========================================================================
Installing UPL-B23 software
===========================
- power up the UPL.
- leave the UPL software with keystroke 'SYSTEM' or 'ctrl F9',
followed by '<+' (RETURN).
- insert UPL-B23 installation floppy (disk 1 of 3)
- at the DOS-prompt change to drive A by typing 'A:' and '<+'.
- at the A:> prompt enter 'b23inst' and '<+'.
- the B23 software will now install to C:\CODED\AC3
- follow the instructions on the screen
- at the end of installation remove disk 3 of 3 UPL will be rebooted.
The complete CODED folder can be found on my drive. Besides that you'll find the 3 install disks I have made in both folder form as in images. Insert each floppy and run B23INST.BAT.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AM2IY0fHnuPLa31EsjTSpI2vKBZcLu7j?usp=sharing
The only item I have seen is that I can only find AC3 (Dolby Digital). According to the UPL menu there should also be an option for DTS (Digital Theatre System) although I cannot find anything on it on the original UPL, not even in the readme file. I have no idea if this is something you could choose when ordering the B23 option or if it was released at all.
Anyway, hopefully this already helps those who needed it.
Cheers, Bart!

Hi Bart,
Just to let you know that I tried and it works perfectly on my UPL as well.
Thanks a lot again!
Is it the little round connector with very small pins? "PS2"
And most of what you can buy today is USB. (PS2 keyboards are available as used or as specialty items; adapting a USB keyboard is usually cheaper.)
https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Replacement-USB-Keyboard-Adapter/dp/B000A0K2JO
USB Keyboard to PS/2 Adapter
It has to be noted that PS/2 and USB are entirely different bussen, with no compatibility between them whatsoever. And that the linked adapter is entirely passive, without any protocol conversion.
This adapter only works for keyboards with the ability to do both protocols on the same connector. I don't know if modern USB keyboards can still do PS/2 on their USB connector. If the keyboard came with a similar adapter in the box, it probably does. If not, your results may vary
.Does anybody here (@simingx ?) have spare for-parts front panel?
I got my UPL off of eBay, many years ago, and when it arrived, it had one button below the display missing. Of course it was not missing on auction photos, but the seller said he was unaware, and offered me to return it, transatlantically.
Anyway; I would love to have a replacement button. I think they come all together in a strip. I prefer a whole strip, but beggars can't be choosers, so I'd already be very happy with just one button.
I can only offer monetary compensation, as I have no spare parts to trade, and free software upgrades with my UPL Keygen, which - by the way - is still way under-starred.
