Re: [Techtoolslist] Fluke on Mario Bros.

Looking at the manual for the Z80QT pod and the schematic I think I am getting an expected result. I hooked up the pod and hit BUS to run the bus test. I immediately get back CTL ERR showing 00000010 this is the HALT line. Looking at the schematic it appears HALT and INT are both tied together and pulled high. So the fluke can't exercise that line. Any way to ignore that error and verify the rest of the bus test? Oh and according the manual maximum clock frequency is 8.0 mhz. Does that mean this pod support Z80A/B/C ? From: David Shoemaker [mailto:davids@oz.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2011 10:38 PM To: 'Technical Tools Mail List' Subject: Fluke on Mario Bros. Anyone know if you can use either the base z80 pod or the z80qt pod on Mario bros? I know it uses the Z80A but I don't know what the pod is rated at.

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 :-#)#

Kurz-Kasch part #0500021

Looking for this rom code. It is part of the Kurz-Kasch TC-590-89 kit for Midway 8080 boards which consisted of 8080 module Clips B3, D3, E4 #0500021 - which is a small circuit board with the rom on it, that plugs into socket H all I need is a copy of the rom data.

FLUKE 9100A SCSI to CF Adapter - Success with Stratos CF AZTECMONSTER
by techtools-steve 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

I received a couple emails inquiring about the SCSI to CF adapter I used so here are the details. Everything you need is currently available at a reasonable price and the physical installation was rather painless. The adapter I used is the Stratos CF AZTECMONSTER and you can buy one direct from Japan http://www.artmix.com/CF_AztecMonster.html but I found it easier and with significantly cheaper shipping to pick one up on ebay. There were multiple listings for the board on ebay yesterday but it appears each had multiple bidders and closed above the starting price. My FLUKE 9100A has the V6 roms installed and was configured using Service Disk 1.4. I have successfully loaded the v4-1b software with the v6.1 update pending availability of new disks (hint-hint Andre)! http://arcadehacking.com/public/fluke/FLUKE9100A_CF_AZTECHMONSTER_01.jpg http://arcadehacking.com/public/fluke/FLUKE9100A_CF_AZTECHMONSTER_02.jpg <http://arcadehacking.com/public/fluke/FLUKE9100A_CF_AZTECHMONSTER_01.jpg> http://arcadehacking.com/public/fluke/FLUKE9100A_CF_AZTECHMONSTER_03.jpg <http://arcadehacking.com/public/fluke/FLUKE9100A_CF_AZTECHMONSTER_01.jpg> http://arcadehacking.com/public/fluke/FLUKE9100A_CF_AZTECHMONSTER_04.jpg <http://arcadehacking.com/public/fluke/FLUKE9100A_CF_AZTECHMONSTER_01.jpg> http://arcadehacking.com/public/fluke/FLUKE9100A_CF_AZTECHMONSTER_05.jpg <http://arcadehacking.com/public/fluke/FLUKE9100A_CF_AZTECHMONSTER_01.jpg> I hope this info helps someone else unbrick their Fluke 9100 after a fatal hard disk failure. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

So on the EE Module all the pins feed through including the ones jumpered ? I ask because pin 19 would be pulled low by clip E3 and it is an output from CPU Clip E3 would cause the data bus direction to go output only (which is OK for the Midway 8080 board) and clip B3, D3 would set the 8080 to execute NOP's Thanks _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
