Re: 8086 pod for fluke?
by Chris_Hardy＠vie.co.uk 13 Sep '05

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

Re[2]: Fluke T-shooters

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... Chris (I would like a copy of the scipt also :) ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: RE: Fluke T-shooters Author: John Robertson <jrr(a)flippers.com> at Internet Date: 1/11/00 8:40 AM I found the Asteroids script, had downloaded it a while ago and it was lurking in the wrong area. Would anyone like a copy? John :-#)#

Cracking the 9010A ROM signature generator
by John Robertson 15 Jun '02

15 Jun '02

I give up, I am way too frustrated by this stupid signature crap so I am going to dive into my 9010 and see if I can figure out how it is doing it. I first have to figure out if it is in the pod or the base unit, when the signature is being generated I see lots of activity on the pod data buss, so I am assuming the process is handled inside the stupid base. I am going to also see if I can figure out mathematically the difference between the fluke signature and the regular checksum by reading a small bit of data and then doing a checksum on the same bit of data, then extrapolating it from there. I suspect that the unit is taking each data line and adding it up, then the next data line...and summing them all together or in series. Gah. digging into it tonight, perhaps I can report out later this evening what I fine. Any suggestions? I am NOT an assembly language person...I can read it a bit, I understand the process, but I have not programmed with the stuff more than a few lines. If someone wants to disassemble the ROM in the base unit, the images are on ftp://www.flippers.com/public and I found a nice Z80 disassemble called DZ80 http://www.inkland.demon.co.uk/dz80/index.htm heh, heh...

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.

What is a good Freq Counter?
by Kev 12 Feb '02

12 Feb '02

Can anyone recomend a good frequency counter brand/model. I'm looking for something 100Mhz or less for counting pulsetrains on game boards. I don't really need totals, just pulses over time.

Fluke 9010A (what else?)
by John Robertson 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

Rummaging around the net I found, at Honeywell, the following CD: http://www.honeywelltraining.com/LearningTools-Interactive.asp ---------------------------- The interactive system CD-ROM program is designed to familiarize and prepare avionics bench technicians for troubleshooting microprocessor circuits using the Fluke 9010A Microprocessor Emulator and other testing tools. This course is broken down into five sections. Section 1 is an interactive description of the X86 microprocessor. Section 2 exemplifies the role of the microprocessor circuitry with interactive operations description of RAM, ROM, decoders, Buggers and I/O devices. Section 3 deals with the operation of the interactive troubleshooting complete with probable circuits and a software emulation of the Fluke 9010A Troubleshooter. The first five certificates are awarded at no charge. Additional certificates are awarded at a cost of $50.00 each. Honeywell Item ID# CD8150-05 ($500US! - ouch) ----------------------------- Has anyone heard of this? Or have anything that might be of use? I am going to be scanning in my copies of the Fluke Troubleshooter over the next week or so for uploading to Spies (or somewhere else for sharing, flippers.com is getting fulllllllllll.....)
