I also got in (Ebay) some test clips (Kurz-Kasch) that are labeled "B-3 Midway, D-3 Midway, and E-4 Midway" All are 16 pin 'Glomper' clips with various pins shorted together. B-3 and D-3 have pins 3,6,8,10, & 13 shorted. E-4 has only pins 1 & 7 shorted. Also in the pile was a 40 pin DIP plug/housing labeled "EE MODULE" which has pins 14, 16, &24 shorted together. Any clues? Thanks! John :-#)#

Does anyone else have one of these units? I've disassembled the software in order to update the unit to a wider range of devices supported. Looking to see if anyone has any other version of firmware in their unit. Mine has the base software as V2.50, 03/19/87. Library is "STD" V1.6 2/18/87.

Re: VECTOR: Using fluke 9010 on BZ in self test

I've had a pile of BZ boards on the bench the past couple weeks and I havn't had a problem getting them to work with the pod.. I've never had such a problem actually. Maybe not all the pods are the same? you aren't leaving WDDIS grounded are you? if so you'll have to lift it for a sec before the thing will run.. The "sacrifice sockets" I've been using are the ones that fluke sent with the pods.. They have pins pretty much identical to the pod itself, but are thinner so they can be bent slightly if need be when inserting into the UUT's socket.. I've been using the same socket for about 3 years so they seem to be pretty durable. Jeff
