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

Re: [Techtoolslist] Atari 6502A NOP adapter

OK Guys, A 6502 NOP will not produce sig's that match Atari doc's. Reason is the 6502 takes two clock cycles to do a NOP instruction. The Cat Box takes one clock cycle. So you get double readings of each address. All you need to do is make an NOP using a couple of counter IC's to cycle through the address range on each clock cycle. Or divide the clock by 2 and use this as your clock connection for the Analyzer. You can do this with one D type flip flop IC.

Fluke 9010a Tape Drive
by Matt Rossiter 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

Hello Everyone, I'm trying to fix my Fluke 9010a tape drive which was working at one point and now is having problems. I'm not having much luck getting it going again and I'm starting to suspect that I might be having an issue with the UPI-41A (Universal Periferal Interface) chip. http://games.rossiters.com/manuals/fluke/Intel-8041A.pdf [1] I know where I can get some of these chips, the problem is they are programmable so I would need someone's help copying the data off a known working Fluke 9010a Tape drive and then have them programmed for me. Does anyone have a programmer that can read/program 8041a/8741a chips? I know the Xeltek SuperPro 3000u can do them. My second option is to find someone who is parting out a Fluke 9010a and get the tape drive from them. I have a bunch of tapes with programs on them I'd like to archive. Is anyone parting out a Fluke 9010a at this time? :) Matt PS - it would be nice to get the ROM off the Fluke 9010a tape drive for preservation purposes!

Atari 6502A NOP adapter
by martin＠guddler.co.uk 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

Hi all, Just been trying to find information on what is different about the KK 6502 (Atari) NOP adapter that makes it produce 8080 signatures as opposed to the normal 6502 ones and I discovered that the question has been posed before - not surprising I guess. Just wandering if this mystery was ever solved and perhaps I'm not looking in the right places? I'm sure I once took down signatures from a working board using my standard 6502 adapter but as always, when I want them, I'm damned if I can find them so maybe I imagined it. In case anyone hasn't a clue what I'm talking about, see the footnote on page 14 of the PDF document "SigAnalNotes.pdf" that ought to be all over the net but I can't find a link to it just yet! The original TechTools list message where this was asked before is here (with no answer): http://www.vectorlist.org/TechTools/2002/10/0035.html Thanks, Martin. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Fluke 9010 Tapes
by thomas43 07 Jan '09

I have a bunch of tapes here that I received with a unit I bought from an operator. There are a bunch of test routines for games like Galaga, Tempest, Battlezone and others (about 20 tapes). Does anyone here want to play with them, and post up the info for others to share? I don't have the time to mess with these.

Hi all. I'm looking for a working Fluke 6809 pod. Have cash waiting! I'd also consider a reasonably intact but unworking pod if the price is right and nothing else is available. thanks, Tim ps I'm in the UK but willing to pay international shipping. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
