Data I/O 29A Unipak Issues,(Promlink)
by Mark Hooks 18 Oct '06

18 Oct '06

After a year of messing around with this thing off and on I finally got it working. I had to revert to Promlink version 2.4 and Windows 98 to get it running. Seems the later versions don't have the Unipak option. They only have Unipak 2B which is different. I also made a custom cable for it. So others wont have to go through the pain I did, here's the pin connections for making a cable: DB9 (PC) DB25 (29A) 2 2 3 3 8 4 7 5 5 7 I was able to use the default port settings to get things to communicate.

Photos of my Test Box
by Matt Rossiter 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

I thought I'd share some photos on the website I'm updating. I'd like to create a site that has a little more information on what test equipment I use along with the "Here's My Games" photos. For starters this is a test box I built which makes testing boards a little easier than what I was doing before. http://games.rossiters.com/photos/main.php?g2_itemId=90 It has a nice Variac for adjusting AC to the exact voltage for any particular monitor. All of the AC Outputs are isolated and have line filters. You can measure the AC current as well as voltage with either the built in indicators or the hookups. It has a power supply for Cinematronics and Atari games as well as a normal switching power supply. So I am able to hook up PCB's or the Zektor ZVG. There's hookups for +5v, -5v, +12v and Ground. In the front there is a switch that toggles the control panel so that you can switch between PCB's or Game Emulation from a computer. In the back there's a nice big fan for blowing out the heat. Best of all, it's compact and rolls around on wheels. Anyway, it's kind of cool. It's been pretty helpful so far and it's not too big of an eye sore. I just need to put some finishing touches on it. If anyone has any helpful comments feel free to share.
