I don't belive so. The ZIF socket drives specific values to the pins of the adapter on the ribbon cable so that internaly, the POD OK signal (it may be named somehing similar) guess high. Typically what I do is get a known good PCB that is verified good my runing it with my POD and run it with the different micros. If afte playing for a litle while (5 mins or so) I label it good and move on to the next. -Adam >From: "Martin White" <martin(a)guddler.com> >To: <techtoolslist(a)flippers.com> >Subject: Testing processors >Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2003 11:23:45 -0000 > >Hi Guys, > >Is there any way that I can use my 9010 and pod to test some processors?? > >I got some off ebay today and would like to test them against DOA before >leaving >feedback, but I don't have a PCB that uses them - just took the opportunity >to >get some while I could... > >I was wandering for instance if the ZIF socket in the pod can be used in >some >way to test the processors. > >Please excuse me if I'm being ignorant, but I don't have any of the manuals >printed off and I figured someone here would have a straightforward yes or >no, >pretty quickly! > >Many thanks, >Martin. > >If you ever want to (un)subscribe yourself with TTL, you can send mail to: ><Majordomo(a)flippers.com> >with the following command in the body of your email message: >(un)subscribe techtoolslist >or from another email account, besides xxx(a)yyy.com: >(un)subscribe techtoolslist xxx(a)yyy.com _________________________________________________________________ Concerned that messages may bounce because your Hotmail account is over limit?

Data I/O System 19/Unipak
by Jeff Shirley 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

Greetings. (I am new to this list, so please excuse any FAQs or breaches of etiquette.) I am trying to replace a Sunshine EPROM programmer (and the 10+ year old PC required to make it work). Over the past few years, I picked up a pair of Data I/O System 19 programmers with Unipak modules. I used a System 29 about 15 years ago to copy an EPROM once, and I remember that we had some software called Promlink. I have no idea how to work the 19s, or even verify that they DO work. They have DB25s on the back, but I do not know if they are live. I am looking for ANY documentation or software for on these units, and obviously someone willing to make copies. I would be happy to provide reimbursement for time, materials, and postage. I would ideally like to connect one of these to a Linux box. Thanks, Jeff. P.S. Replace no-spam with bucky for direct email. -- Jeff Shirley no-spam(a)mindspring.com "Bill Gates is filthy rich, but that doesn't mean I want to be married to him."

Upgrading 9100s CPU
by John Robertson 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

A number of years ago Macintosh computers ran with a lowly 68000, then some bright person figured out how to install a 68020 (or was it a 68010?). I think I still have one of those kits (must dig out tonight) but have no time... So anyone interested in a challenge? Riches and fame are not promised... I'm still trying to get the permissions set on the FTP site, you can download, but not upload for now... John :-#)#

ftp is finally up
by John Robertson 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hi folks...finally I got the FTP server running again, but for now I am not loading the older Fluke PDFs as I only have about 150MB of space available (getting it bumped up next week to about 350MB - still not enough by 100MB!), but I will upload any new PDFs up to my limit... I have been uploading the other support info though. And if anyone wants a CD of the entire collection (about 450MB) LMK, it will cost something like $10US including postage for TTL folks. Also I need to adjust the FTP setting slightly as you get in one directory below /pub currently. Uploads are welcome! John :-#)# How to subscribe or unsubscribe from TTL To do either you send email to "MajorDomo(a)flippers.com" and in the body you state either "Subscribe techtoolslist" or "Unsubscribe techtoolslist", note that the Subject is "" (Blank)... FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/pub/TTL/ (for now)
