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?

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.

More fluke troubles!
by Dave Langley 30 Oct '01

Hi all ... Well since my 9100A died I managed to get a 9010, alas I am doomed to be the keeper of lots of dead fluke hardware as the 9010 is completely dead! The PSU tests out OK, but I've not looked at anything else. Also I noticed it does not have the RS232 option ... if I get it working has anyone got one of these for sale? Now onto the pods ... the 6802 and 8085 pods were both shipped without the cable in the self test socket. Guess what both have a pin broken off :o( Has anyone ever replaced these ribbons/headers with a home made effort? PS I have not forgotten about those who wanted the 9100 software but I cannot currently copy it. It's being sent onto someone who can for distribution.

If you get different CKSUM each time you try, make sure to clean the legs. Dirty legs causes erratic results. Sometimes, the CKSUM is REALLY close, but not quite. Clean the legs and all is good.

Fluke 9010 questions
by Werner Sharp 09 Oct '01

09 Oct '01

I've been using my Fluke to run a UUT and then break in to look at memory. Is there any easy way to resume the UUT after pausing/stopping it? Or do you always need to reset the microprocessor from the beginning? I want to be able to pause a running board, examine memory, and resume the game where it was paused. I would think it could do this but I must have overlooked something. Lastly, does anyone have a 6809 pod for sale? I'd also trade a 8088 pod + some cash if someone was interested.

Re: Fluke 9020a

100%. But, the 9020 is much more useful if you have a GPIB controller (or a PeeCee with an adaptor) to interface to it. (It also helps if you know how to write simple test programs). I don't thinks these can use 9010 programs (but I may be wrong) . . . . On Fri, 5 Oct 2001 12:30:11 EDT Electronicamuse(a)aol.com writes: > I have one of these coming next week.

Fluke 9100A Display Troubles
by Dave Langley 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

Hi .... I decided to make a start on copying the 9100A software disks today, using Anadisk on my PC (very slow) for the system disks and the unit itself for the user disks (pod info). I'd only got about half way though copying the first user disk and the fluke shut down on me and there was a buzzer sounding??? I *think* the unit now boots OK , but there is no display although the status LED seem to be working OK. I've tried re-seating all the connectors but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas?
