Building a Fluke 9010A RAM test for 5101s
by John Robertson 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Random ramblings... Has anyone created a test for these CMOS RAMs? I am not very good at programming and it would be useful to have this. The only other way I can think to make a valid test is to make an adapter that holds a second 5101 that fits onthe5101 under test and run all the lines except the data in parallel - have a jumper that takes the extra 4 data lines over to a Eprom/ROM using a glomper clip. However a proper software test would be more elegant...yet the glomper easier to make up! If I can find a 22 pin version that is, or simply bend out the data lines and wedge the5101 onto the one on the board...hmm, that does sound easier, then one can use the built-in Fluke RAM test. I'll let you know if the glomper test gizmo works - have a couple of irritating Williams boards to try this on.

Fluke 9010a and Sega G80 boards
by Matt Rossiter 16 Apr '09

Has anyone tried reading ROM signatures on the Sega G80 boardsets using the Fluke 9010a? I'm getting inconsistent signatures each time I tried to read each rom. I'm able to successfully read/write to the CPU and Vector Rams though. The boards all work fine with a normal Z80 processor installed, but I can't run the game with a Z-80 pod connected to it. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.
