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 :-#)#

FIDE / web version import mame?

I see on the http://www.quarterarcade.com/tech/CodeGenerator/ page that it mentions importing a mame driver to generate the script. But for the life of me I can't figure out how J Anyone?

Reading 9100 floppies...
by John Robertson 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Has anyone lately tried to archive floppies from the 9100 series machines? I found a program called OmniFlop that works on most PC platforms including XP and it supports something like 250 odd floppy formats. http://www.shlock.co.uk/Utils/OmniFlop/OmniFlop.htm You see I am currently selling a 68030 adapter and found when I opened the package that there was a 720 DS floppy and wanted to archive it for the gang here (scanned the manual as well) - the OmniFlop program gave two formats - one being Acorn ADFS L, the other being Gravograph. My original 9100 archive setup is packed away, and I can't recall the name of the floppy reader software... So the question is, are either of my archives going to be valid? I made two archives using each of the two formats. I've put the two images up on the FTP site - ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment/Fluke/68030-Adapter John :-#)# -- How to subscribe or unsubscribe from TTL http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment _______________________________________________ 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/

Tru using dd command in Linux, it create a raw image of disk dd if=/dev/floppy of=NameofImage.bin Oct 19, 2011 10:00:58 PM, jrr(a)flippers.com wrote: =========================================== David Shoemaker wrote: > Not sure what I am missing but why don't you use the tool to make a > disk from the image and see if it reads in the 9100? > > I would also then archive the copied disk and diff the two image > files. If all went right they should match. (don't think this hit the mail list) True, if I had a working 9100 at this time - which I don't! I could use the 9100 to duplicate the disc as well. I haven't had time to put together a working 9100 system for a while, too many other business pressures, hence my trying to solve this by finding a simple archiving utility. I now suspect that the XP computer (or its 3-1/2 drive) I am using is not compatible with the requirements of the OmniFlop as it does not show this 68030 support disc as OS9 even though it supposedly recognizes OS9. Will try to resurrect my older portable machine that did work (at one time) for archiving/copying OS9 discs with a universal copy program...that darn boot/copy floppy is here somewhere...

Not sure what I am missing but why don't you use the tool to make a disk from the image and see if it reads in the 9100? I would also then archive the copied disk and diff the two image files. If all went right they should match.
