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 ?

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 :-#)#

I think there is only used cables out there and those are hard to come by as well.

Xeltek SuperPro III VMware Player/Workstation Image
by Brad Gass 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

If anyone has an aged Xeltek SP3 around that you've been saving an equally aged laptop/PC to drive it, I took the time to construct a VMware Player (free to everyone, should work on Workstation and newer versions of Player also) with the latest version of their DOS software loaded, MS-DOS 6.22, and the MS Networking Client (you have to boot into one or the other though - networking useful for pulling files from shares). My old laptop I was using with it finally died, and rather than spend a pile of time fixing that old beast, I wanted to give this a shot to see if it would work - and it did (on my system, Windows XP Pro, Player 3.1.4 - I know - old, YMMV). You *must* have a hardware parallel port to pass through to VMware - USB parallel adapters will not work. Granted, that's getting harder to find nowadays, but not quite as impossible as finding parts for that old laptop :) It's about 7MB zipped, if you're in need of it, let me know. --Brad _______________________________________________ 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/

Bezerk/Frenzy repairs?
by John Robertson 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Anyone here fix Berzerk/Frenzy boards and is possibly looking for a repair job? Have a fellow with a Frenzy that has locked up screen, however the 5VDC voltage sounded low so I am getting him to work on that first. If, however, is it the board(s) is anyone interested in taking over? I don't have a fixture setup for this game, nor known-to-be-good boards to compare. Alex @ Electron Forge doesn't do these either.

I use my 9010. I'm waiting for the guy that sent me the wrong cables for my Z80 pod to return my call but I think he is avoiding me.

My Fluke 9010a RAM problem - Again !
by Jose Luiz Martins 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hi ! This is the 3rd time I have RAM problems with my Fluke 9010a. Always the same behavior. After a couple hours of working, turned the system off and when turn-on again, show garbage on the display. The first and second time, I've decide to troubleshoot what IC was damage, and replaced with new ones. Now I've decide to change all 8 RAM ICs with NOS ones. The weird is that my system is not used very often. Do you guys experienced some similar problems ?
