9010A Service Manual
by John Robertson 19 May '02

19 May '02

I just found that one of my service manuals is dated October, 1989, and it is for units with Serial Numbers 4876000 and higher. Does anyone want a copy of it? There is not a lot of changes, but if your unit is the later date it might matter if you are trying to fix it. If someone wants to scan it in, they need a ledger sized scanner for the foldouts...someday I'll find a ledger scanner with ADF... I also found an Change/Errata Information pamphlet dated 6/84 (Issue #2) - this I plan to scan in this weekend.

Compressing/Page Capturing PDFs
by John Robertson 17 May '02

17 May '02

Anyone here play with Adobe 5.0? Does it do a better job of capturing pages than 4.0? The reason I ask is I was looking at the amount of storage used, so far, on the FTP site, and had recently received a rather small PDF that was scanned manual for the Arium ML4100 (it's up there) that was only 260K in size, whereas my scans were coming in the multimeg size.... So I played with a recent file that Kev put up today - the 80188PODGS manual, and Kev's version was 1.2megs, whereas the Captured manual was only 56K. Slight space advantage... John :-#)#

The Async manual is not complete as posted (my upload was terminated for some reason?). I'll upload it again tomorrow along with the Async Service Manual (These are both for the 9010A not the 9100). I've got several more documents to scan, most of them for the 9100 series & will get them up as soon as I can. Thanks, Kev

But who actually has a 9010A that can support the 9000A clock? Wonder what it would take to produce the board?

Machine Code Help?
by Kev 12 May '02

12 May '02

I'm looking at the FILE02.S trying to understand the function of this 9010A script. It has embedded machine language routines designed to run on the UUT CPU for ROM checksums. How can I tell what CPU the OP codes are for? I think it is 8080...... 21 xx <- Low byte of PROM address start yy <- High byte of PROM address start AF 01 xx <- Low byte of PROM address end YY <- High byte of PROM address end 11 00 00 00 86 D2 0F QQ <- MSByte of RAM address 1C 57 23 7D A9 7A C2 0A QQ <- MSByte of RAM address 57 7C A8 7A C2 0A QQ <-MSByte of RAM address 86 D2 23 QQ <-MSByte of RAM address 1C 32 01 QQ+1 7B 32 00 QQ+1 76 :HALT (I figured this one out!)
