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...

>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.

Data I/O 121A Gang programmer
by Chris Loggans 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

Hey, does anyone on the list have one of these? I recently picked one up and it works great, except that I'd like to get a more recent firmware than is in the machine right now. Data I/O handed off support for all of their obsolete products to a third party which doesn't supply firmware upgrades. My only hope is to find someone else with one of these beasts. Anyone? Thanks, -Chris PS - I have the manual and can scan it in if anyone is interested. Just let me know.

I've got one too. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: John Robertson To: techtoolslist(a)flippers.com Sent: 7/31/00 1:19 AM Subject: Fluke Series 90 8085 -> Z80 modification Well, I think it can be done! I was lent a Z80 version of the series 90 uP tester and the circuit to make the 8085 pod change to Z80 is not TOO horrible. I will be doing some tests this week and let you all know. There is an Eprom change (the custom ICs don't change, fortunately) and rewire. Da#@ thing has pretty tiny pins on the internal interconnect... So did anyone else buy these?

Fluke 9010a Pods
by Rod Dooley 08 Jul '00

Hi I got myself a 9010a with a probe but no pods. Does anyone have any pods for sale? I would like to get an 8080 and 6502 to start but I think anything would be good to start learning with. Thanks for any help. Rod Kelowna B.C.
