There is such a library maintained by Bruce Lane at Bluefeather
Technologies. He only archives firmware of instruments no longer
supported (off support), and I believe he has at least some level of
permission from the test gear companies.
You might try the hp_agilent_equipment list at yahoo - this has
quite an active group of people on it who have 8566/8568s and a couple
who I think may have the firmware you want already available as a file.
Of course *I* am looking for Austron 2200A firmware for the same
reason...
