Re: 8086 pod for fluke?

Hey, that would be my cue :) All of the M72, M82, M84 games from Irem use a NEC V20 which is a 8086 with some extra instructions. It's also pin compatible so the 8086 pod is usable with it. Of course, there aren't exactly many of these around :) Chris (M72 = RType, Dragon Breed, XMultiply, + others, M82 = RType II, Pound for Pound, M84 = Major Title) ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: 8086 pod for fluke? Author: Noel Johnson <nej(a)airmail.net> at Internet Date: 1/17/00 12:09 AM Hello All, I am about to obtain an 8086 pod for a fluke 9010. Did any arcade games use the 8086 or am I going to have to trade this puppy away?? Thanks! Noel

Does anyone know if the scripts for the 9010 work on a 9100a?? It may also be of interest to know that someone (presumably Al Kossow) has scanned and pdf'ed a lot of the fluke manuals and uploaded them to www.spies.com/arcade. There's a fluke directory which has some 9010 scripts and the .exe to compile them, and in the TE directory there are manuals for the 9010,9100 and most of the POD's. (I presume Al wrote the scripts) Unfortunately, the user manual for the 9100 isn't there. Sigh...

Would anyone like a copy? John :-#)#

Re: Programming the Fluke 9100 - Am I out of luck?

>You should be able to tell if you have the programming option by > looking for the 9 pin D-type connection (like a serial port) on the back. Nope, I don't have it, but for some reason I do have the two 25 pin COM ports - utterly useless! >PS - If anyone understands keyboard interfacing and might be able to figure >out what makes the Fluke keyboard special (and hopefully make an adapter for >normal keyboards), let me know. I have a Fluke keyboard, minus keys, that I >can loan out if someone is serious about the project. I ran across a blurb in the service manual than mentions it uses a 2400 (IIRC) baud serial interface. My plan *was* to use a COM port on a PC to emulate the keyboard (there was also a table listing the key mapping), but there is little point if it won't get me anywhere. Sigh, thanks for your help. Looks like its back to the 9010 for me :-( Alex http://www.elektronforge.com ayeckley(a)elektronforge.com To UNSUBSCRIBE from techtoolslist, send a message with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the message body to: techtoolslist-request(a)flippers.com.

ADSL vs Cable
by John Robertson 27 Jun '00

Well, a bit off topic, but I just had ADSL service set up at home...1200K+ baud! Our cable modem only gives me 600K at the same time. Cute. Goodbye cable!

RE: Data I/O Promlink manual

Speaking of Promlink, does anyone know what Data I/O systems it is compatible with? I recently picked up a Data I/O 121A Gang Programmer (20 EPROMS at once!) but it came without software or manuals. Any information would be appreciated.

Anyone have a copy of this? Covers some of the setup option for the programmer to expand it capabilities (slices bread, creates water, transmogrifies lead into gold?)

Fluke 9100s - Who has what?
by ayeckley 19 Jun '00

19 Jun '00

Jeff Anderson & I have been trying to determine who all is using the Fluke 9100 system, and to what level of sophistication. Anyone actually using the Programmer Station option? Anyone using the I/O pods? Clock modules? I'm at the larval stage on this system.

I have been writing some script files for my fluke 9010a in order to trouble shoot some 'Universal boardsets that I have (eg:- cosmic monsters etc.) The problem is I only have One Tape. so i decided to download the scripts to my pentium III portable. No Problem downloaded perfectly :-)) trouble is when i try to upload them back to the fluke always at line 7 fluke sends an error message (Scriptfile about 110 lines long) and aborts sadly the message it gives is the abiguous message AUX-Receiving-ERROR discribed as 'Miscellanious Transmission Problems'???? Can anyone sugest anything I might try. I am sending to the pc with BAUD 9600 , PARITY=NONE , BITS=1 and Xon Xoff protocol as I say no problem sending to the pc. When Scriptfile and Signature Analysis is complete will post it for the use of the list members.

Does anyone have a manual for one of the CPU ROM packs for the Tek 1240/1241 logic analyzer? I am trying to use one of these without a manual and am not having much luck. If you have one for any of the packs (except the Performance Analysis pack) please let me know.
