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 :-#)#

Does anyone happen to know if these are available online somewhere? I have them and I'm just wondering if I should scan them in. The two I have are: 1) 90 Series uP Board Tester - User's Manual 2) Quicktools for the IBM PC - User's Manual Matt _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist

Ram Diagnosis Help Needed
by Mark Hooks 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

I'm trying to learn more about how to interpret RAM read/write test results on Atari 6502 based games. Can someone recommend a good text book where I can learn more about how to sort out high from low bits ? The Atari Cat Box manual assumes you have this basic knowledge.... which I don't. I've searched the archives and the FTP site to no avail.

Fluke 9010a issue with pod self test
by Colin Davies 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

I just tried my new fluke 9010a with RS-232... passes self test... but when I plug a known working 6502 pod in and do a bus test it reports 6502 pod error 00 (iirc).... Is this a relatively easy fix or should I bite the bullet and move the rs-232 module over to my working unit ? ( Is that all I have to do ? or are there other modifications required to the base unit to accept it ?) I'd rather fix the faulty unit to be honest, as the worker is in really really great condition so I'd like to keep it as a spare and use the other new arrival for now..... Thanks for your help, Regards, Colin _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment

Thanks John Looks like several pages are missing. 8-46 is the last page in the file, but contents shows pages up to 8-51. I know the probe and timing pod schematics are missing also the Option 30 and Option 40 info. >teeray wrote: >> Does anyone have or know were I can get a readable copy of the >> schematics for the HP 5006A? >> >> I have the down loadable manual from Agilent and everything is readable >> except the schematics.

Does anyone have or know were I can get a readable copy of the schematics for the HP 5006A? I have the down loadable manual from Agilent and everything is readable except the schematics. All of the down loadable manuals I have found are like this. Thanks Tim _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment

Fluke 9010a Troubleshooting w/ Omega Race
by Matt Rossiter 13 Sep '08

13 Sep '08

This might be more of a Vectorlist question, but I thought I might try here. Right now I'm using a 100% working Omega Race boardset to make sure I have the correct setup using the Fluke 9010a and Z80 Pod. First of all, the boardset just won't run with the Z80 Pod. I can see that the Reset line is pulsing. It won't run if I disable the watchdog circuit either. *sometimes* I can get it to do a Quick Ram Test successfully. Other times I get data error messages and if I do a bus test it will report a bunch of data lines tied together. Of course, if I put a normal z80 processor back in the game works perfectly fine. So, I'm just wondering if anyone out there knows how to properly setup an Omega Race boardset for troubleshooting with the Fluke 9010a and Z80 pod. This Pod should be working fine since I used it recently on a Pac-Man. thanks Matt _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist
