Fluke 9000A mystery adapter (for me at least ;-)
by John Robertson 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

I have a pod module here called "Z8 I/F ADAPTER" Fluke #9000-200/AB. It has no cable to the base, just a 40 pin CPU cable. Inside is a couple of RAM chips, and some Fluke hybrid interface ICs. Any guesses? John :-#)#

Unipak 2B adaptor query
by Phil Morris 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

I have a Data I/O 29B EPROM programmer with a Unipak 2B and need to get hold of an adaptor for it, specifically adaptor no: 351B068 Does anyone either have one of these or know what it consists of please? Does it perhaps just re-route a few pins, or is there more to it than that? Thanks, Phil _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist

The list is seeing some activity today! A friend of mine and fellow collector who's not on this list has just posted elsewhere that he is in need of any documentation that anyone may have for the above. He has the manual, but it makes a lot of assumptions apparently (using the word "obviously" rather a lot!). He had it with him when he came down to visit at the weekend and I have to say it looked like one seriously interesting bit of kit (and very big too!) I would love to know more about how it all works too so if anyone can help it would be appreciated. Hopefully he will be scanning the manual for me soon and it will be a case of two heads being better than one. Well, one and a half with mine at least. Cheers, Martin. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist

Your going to need a RTOS to do 9100 emulation and I suspect that this supports the usage of the I/O modules, but it may be time well spent.

It's a little more involved (both reverse engineering the I/O module and writing the database software). However, the 9100A using the I/O module is EXTREMELY powerful. I'd write the IDE/database program for the 9100A like app so long as no one cared that it was C# :-) JB ---------------------------------------- From: Adam Courchesne <ajcrm125(a)gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 5:45 AM To: Technical Tools Mail List <techtoolslist(a)flippers.com> Subject: Re: [Techtoolslist] Considering making FlukeEm open source... Whoever designed the pods took the time to understand the functionality of each respective processor. For example, for processor type ABC, a read consists of putting the read address on the address in cycle N, then expect the data in cycle N+1. They then wrote code to support this behavior and programmed it into the pod, so that when a read command is received from the Fluke, it performs these functions. For processor XYZ, the read (and thus POD) behavior would be completely different. Writing a direct uP USB adapter is certainly possible, but in doing so we would be reinventing the wheel. (I think some other companies have these?) What I wanted to do is look at the commands getting sent from the Fluke to the pod. (I.E. what gets sent to the pod when the READ @ 7000 command is sent) Once I get a full understanding of the Fluke to POD command interface, I can then write an ICE (In Circuit Emulator) that supports these pods. Think about it.. you could write Z80 C or assembly code on your PC, and use this program to execute it on the native Z80 based system the pod is plugged into. Real time code development and debug baby. :-) On 11/15/05, Tom McClintock < tomm(a)mgcap.com> wrote: Why stay with the POD at all?
