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

A checksum is a simple addition of all the bytes with the top bits chopped off to give you a 4 digit hex number e.g. EA46 A signature starts with a seed (e.g. 0000) and each byte is sort of xor'd and shifted into the seed, to give you a result. A checksum will miss double errors in different bytes, where they cancel each other out, whearas a signature (depending on the xor function used to create it) can be statistically proven to spot certain patterns of errors. If a signature is right, you're virtually guaranteed the ROM is OK. Checksums are a bit dodgy by comparion.
