Alpha Electronics Dynamic Integrated Digital IC Tester on eBay
by John Robertson 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.

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 :-#)#

Atari Catbox Guide?
by Grant Thienemann 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

Hey Guys, I've got an Atari Catbox that I really want to start utilizing to fix various Atari PCBs I have, specifically my Asteroids, Battlezone, Red Baron and Missile Command. I do have the original user manual for the Catbox, but I was wondering if anyone has ever done a more step by step write up for how to use this awesome device. If anyone can point me to a guide or just give a quick how-to so I know I'm using this tool correctly that would be fantastic!

B&K Precision 560 IC library VER. 2.00 EPROMS dumps
by Fabrizio Vasile 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

HI all, today I've dumped the four EPROMS inside my B&K Precision IC tester, these EPROMS store the IC library used during IN and OUT of circuit tests. They are are all Hitachi HM482764G (so readable as 2764), labeled from IC4 to IC5, the most left socket is empty but , according manual, it was populated during first production (version 1.00 , I presume) Here the archive containing the dumps plus a picture of EPROMS and two scanned page of the manual on how disassemble the unit. Now, it would be nice if someone could dump other version, I know there are at least the 2.20 and 3.00 (this is maybe the latest) ones. http://www.mediafire.com/?e6pyh96bw44amh5 _______________________________________________ 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/
