Re: WTB : Video card for fluke 9100

If we can offload the TL/1 Compiler to another computer would that help? I think you would still want the Monitor / Programmer option for collecting response data (I don't know of a way around that). Worth asking, is it possible to use the 232 port as a monitor port with like the 1020 touchscreen, as a primary monitor?

http://www.l3sys.com/keyat/ky_feat.html $99 let's keep looking http://www.beyondlogic.org/keyboard/keybrd.htm DIY 68HC705 project, I think it would just require remapping some of the ASCII codes. I believe source is there too. Uses a AT keyboard. Also links to a 68HC11 version. http://www.electronic-engineering.ch/microchip/projects/projects.html DIY Pic Microcontroller version. I don't think he supported all the Function keys but I imagine he would be helpful if asked. Unfortunately I haven't had time to play with any of these but I think the 2 DIY projects are the solution we are looking for & relatively cheap. As for the Reset issue, I don't know. Didn't you have a fake out for that John?

FS: Last NOS 9100A
by John Robertson 25 Sep '02

25 Sep '02

Well, I've decided that the shop needs money more than I need another toy, so I am going to sell my last NOS 9100 system. It's hard drive crashed on the third power-up and I've ordered a replacement (9100) 20Meg SCSI from NAVATEK.com, this will be formatted and have the original software installed and thus ready to go. Included with the 9100 is a (sealed) 9132, a bunch of 680XX and 80286, 80386 adapters for the 9132 (all sealed), and a bunch of pods. plus two each of 32, 28, and 24 pin adapters. Ram upgrades for the 9132... 9100 probe, Signature Clock module, Service , operators, etc manuals and factory operators software disc set. Complete set of manuals: pods, 9132, etc. The base has been run on my bench for just a few hours, still has the original factory warranty decals and seals. This was one of the units whose floppies I archived for working on the serial number issue. Nice bright display! So if anyone is interested they can make an offer and I can send pictures to them of the nice aluminized sealed baggies - airtight, they hiss when opened! For the record I sold one of these on $2,000US, the second one sold on eBay for $2,500US. This is the very last NOS one...really...I have no more NOS units. I am keeping my old 9100 (noisy hard drive) as it is complete. John :-#)#

6809 disassembler recommendations?
by Joe Magiera 25 Sep '02

25 Sep '02

Can anyone suggest a 6809 disassembler that they like and/or have had good luck with (and where to get it)? Also, any good books or manuals on the 6809 language? (Yes, planning a project. I'm probably in way over my head, but won't know until I try.) Joe joemagiera(a)ameritech.net
