Alpha Electronics Dynamic Integrated Digital IC Tester on eBay
by John Robertson 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

I chatted with the seller and he confirms that it does NOT power up. So chances are the battery backed up system ROM has failed. Item 390623172259 He reduced the price on his own from the original asking $59.95 to $19.95. Pity. I was hoping to find a good one to extract the program from to save mine... If someone here buys it and CAN extract the ROM data I'd sure like a copy!

Re: [Techtoolslist] Fluke on Mario Bros.
by David Shoemaker 20 Apr '18

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 :-#)#

Has anyone had good luck with the HP10529 ? I seem to get a lot of false ic failures during tests. Have you seen the HP ever show a failed IC test good?

Hello, I am looking for the 8051.POD file. This is the setup file for the POD not the POD ROM image. If anyone could tell me where to find, or provide, a download for this file it would be greatly appreciated.

Fluke 9010A Firmware upgrade
by Jose Luiz Martins 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi folks! I think i read here some time ago something about upgrading 9010A firmware. Is it a big deal upgrade the 9010A from 2C to 3A? I found this website (http://www.jammarcade.net/fluke-9010a-ver-3a-upgrade/) with ROMs but it has 6 ROMs and my board has only 5 sockets. No U1 and U2 ICs just the U18,U19,U20 and U21. Can someone help me please? Thanks!

Data I/O 29B on Windows 7?
by Joe Magiera 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

I think this was asked before and I didn't have Windows 7 at the time so I didn't follow it, so I apologize, but I need to ask again. Has anyone successfully got a Data I/O 29B to work on a Windows 7 machine? If so, any tips or tricks you can share that you had to do to get it to work?
