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

Re: [Techtoolslist] Fluke 9010A Install with FIDE

Fide doesn't work on 64 bit because the underlying tools are 16 bit. -----Original Message----- From: "Theron Troxel" <troxelone(a)yahoo.com> Sent: ‎4/‎1/‎2013 8:27 PM To: "Technical Tools Mail List" <techtoolslist(a)flippers.com> Subject: Re: [Techtoolslist] Fluke 9010A Install with FIDE Had a chance to look at this a little bit more tonight. I am using Windows 7 x64, and doesn't appear to be working. I can't even get the script to compile. I switched to a little netbook that I have and now the script is compiling and not giving any errors, but won't transfer the data to the fluke. The fluke just displays that it's receiving , but never changes. My netbook is recognizing the cable and matched the settings on both the computer and fluke to match. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. ________________________________ From: Theron Troxel <troxelone(a)yahoo.com> To: Technical Tools Mail List <techtoolslist(a)flippers.com> Sent: Monday, April 1, 2013 6:12 PM Subject: Re: [Techtoolslist] Fluke 9010A Install with FIDE The cord was initially com7, but changed it thinking it had to be com1 - com4 to match the FIDE setting. _______________________________________________ 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/ _______________________________________________ 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/ _______________________________________________ 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/

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/

Eprom checksum
by David Shoemaker 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

Working on a Midway grid. Board is reporting bad checksums on some roms. The roms have checksums written on them (factory labels with handwritten info). Put a rom into my EMP20 (which I have never used for this size rom before) and then had it calc the checksum. Doesn't match the notation on the label. Loaded a mame rom set into the software and got a different checksum from both my rom and the file. Doing a file compare against the rom loaded into the buffer and the rom in the socket shows dramatic differences. I tried this with one of the roms that the board is reporting as good and got the same kind of results. So now I don't know what to trust. I wanted to calc the checksums of the mame rom images but can't figure out what tool to use (running windows here). Any help appreciated.
