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

HP 10529A Logic Comparator Question
by Matt Rossiter 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

I've been using this device for years. Today I came across an idea that I hadn't thought about. Normally I set the TTL outputs with the two dipswitches, put in a "known to be good" TTL chip and compare with the one on the board. If any of the outputs are bad, the corresponding LED(s) will light up. What about just setting TTL outputs, but not actually putting in a chip to compare with? So, for example, I am looking at a 74LS32 chip on the board, the outputs are pins 3, 6, 8, 11. Without a chip in the Logic Comparator, the 3, 6, 8, 11 LED's should all light up. But today I noticed that only 3, 6, and 8 lit up. I've been suspecting that the output on pin 11 was bad, but when comparing with a good 74LS32 it didn't light up either (indicating it was good). So it turns out that the output on pin 11 *was* bad, but the comparator didn't catch it with the good chip inserted. Without a chip inserted, it was the only output that *didn't* light up. Has anyone else tried this "reverse" method before? (and yes, all my LED's on the comparator are working fine. I tested other chips just to make sure).

9010A Code Generator Question
by Matt Rossiter 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

This is a very handy tool to work with when you want to do some quick tests. I love it. I have just one itty bitty suggestion, unless I'm just doing something wrong. When you generate a test script for a game, say Tempest, the ROM Program names it automatically creates are generally "illegal" when they are compiled through FIDE. I guess it has to be a certain length? So, I just have to edit each ROM program name so that it can compile the script and send it to the troubleshooter. For example, I would normally take a generated name like 136002123 and manually change it to ROM123. http://tech.quarterarcade.com/Tech/CodeGenerator/Default.aspx?g=3057&set=te… James, would it be possible to add an optional function that could automatically truncate the ROM Program names? Maybe have something where it adds "rom" to the beginning and the last 3 or 4 characters of the rom name to the end? I don't mind doing it manually, or maybe come up with a script of my own, but that would be super cool.
