Fluke 9000A mystery adapter (for me at least ;-)
by John Robertson 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 :-#)#

6800 => 6502 pod conversion ?
by Mike Salay 29 Jan '11

There was some discussion on this topic many moons ago, but it was not clear if anyone had succeeded in completing the operation. Can anyone confirm before I warm up the soldering iron ?

Kurz-Kasch ROM Test II

Anyone have one of these? I am in need of either schematics or some voltage measurements from the regulator PCB. Just 'won' this off eBay and it really doesn't work (not surprising given the description). The device looked useful - my assumption was it would generate a CheckSum of an Eprom inserted into the socket - it has four seven-segment displays after all! It uses a Z80 that appears to be wired up as a NOP, but it uses several voltages - perhaps -5 and +12 for the 2708s etc. I only have one socket - 2764-27128, if anyone has any of the sockets I'd be interested in pictures to try to figure out the pinout assuming no schematics or manual turns up that is! Thanks!

Developing using the 9100
by Martin White 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Happy New Year to everyone! I've been doing some hacking about over the holidays with code on a 6502 based PCB (Asteroids as it happens). I've got to the point where I want to debug it on the real hardware so obviously the first thing I wanted to do was try and avoid keep burning ROMs all the time. The code is only really a proof of concept so it's very small. I've relocated my code down to zero page and I can transfer it to the PCB's memory that sits from 0 - 3FF. On the 9100 that works ok. It's a bit of messing about but I can basically assemble the code, convert it to Intel Hex format, transfer it over serial link and then write it to the PCB's memory and execute it. The only caveat is that I needed to burn a dummy ROM that sits at 7800-7FFF which solely contains the interrupt and reset vectors. So far so good. The problem is that by the time I've avoided the stack that lives at page 1 (100-1FF) I'm really rather restricted on space. Also by relocating down there I loose the ability to test the code in mame as well. That's not essential but it would be nice to retain that. So does anyone know if there's any other way? Is there a way where I can keep the code where it's meant to live for instance? Preferably without hacking the PCB to put a RAM in there. The manuals for the 9100 very fleetingly mention something called POD overlay RAM which sounds very promising but I've not been able to find anything much more than just a quick mention. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 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/
