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 :-#)#

Convert pod to Z80?
by John Robertson 29 May '13

29 May '13

Not that I need this for me, but with the relative rarity of Z80 pods these days I have to wonder if something like an 8080 pod could be converted to Z80... Just a thought.

I think the cable is the issue. I'm running a db9 on the PC end and a db25 on the fluke end. I believe I need pin 7 of the db9 to pin 5 of the db25 as well as pin 8 of the db9 to pin 4 of the db25. These are the request and clear to send and none of these ohm out. I believe these are the handshake. I will try the low baud as suggested.

Fwd: 7408 vs 74LS08
by Jose Luiz Martins 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hi ! Have you guys experience problems using 74LSXX instead of 74XX in address bus? I'm trying to troubleshoot one Taito Moon Cresta board for months, and could not find the problem. I solve the garbage on the screen changing one 7408 at Data Line A5,A6 and A7 but now I have the screen filled with Zeroes and Ones. I was noticed by a friend that the 2114 is very speed sensitive, but I cant believe the 74LS08 is the guilty. I'm asking you guys because I don't have any good 7408 IC, I'll have to order it from USA and wait about 30 days to arrive.
