v6.1 dd image
by Tony Jones 28 Dec '15

28 Dec '15

Hey. Does anyone have a copy of the v6.1 dd image pointed to here: http://www.andys-arcade.net/personal/tech/fluke9100/index.htm "DOWNLOAD THIS" link (task 14) doesn't exist on the server. I ran some low-level scsi diags on the Quantum drive that came with my 9100FT and it's not sensing correctly. So I bought one of the SCSI2SD (codesrc) adapters and a box of DD floppies but one of the two 1.44mb drives I had gathering dust appears to be totally dead and the other I'm having no luck writing to (either from dos utils or teledisk). I tried connecting the Fluke floppy drive to the PC (BIOS configured as 720k) but that didn't work either. The above dd image, even though it's for a CF card should probably work on a SD. Failing this, I'll have to sort the floppies out. And on this topic: I noted the above page says "First off, system v6.0 is the newest tested working distribution that works, 6.1 doesn't work because the images were made from bad disks, don't bother with it". How does this correlate with the "System_DiscsRV6.1" and "System_DiscsRV6.1_VerifiedOK" folders on flippers.com, especially the second? I searched for 6.1 in the mail-archives and couldn't find any answers. Finally, do I require a (scsi driver) ROM upgrade for the 9100FT? The FT mainboard is different from the A, no u46/u47. I assume the equivalent FT is @U26, mine is labelled v1.3 but I can't see anything but the updated 5.0 A versions in the archives. Thanks! _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Software for MCT MOD-EMUP Programmer
by vector 28 Dec '15

28 Dec '15

I'd have to look up the version I'm using now. I've found MOD-EMUP-A software everywhere... and I don't know if it works with the MOD-EMUP (non -A). Anyone know if the MOD-EMUP-A software works with the MOD-EMUP, or have the last version/updates for the MOD-EMUP ? -- Curt _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Huge archive of manuals

Found this on sci.electronics.repair http://bee.mif.pg.gda.pl/ciasteczkowypotwor/ Not much for the Fluke 9010 (our PDF is better), and nothing on the 9100s, but lots of other schematics and info.

Fluke 9132
by Tony Jones 26 Dec '15

26 Dec '15

Hi. ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment/Fluke/Fluke_9XXX%20Series%20Status… shows cpu personality modules for 9132A-[CPU] and 9132FT-[CPU]. Also single 9132FT-ROM universal ROM adapter rather than several 9132A-0XX #pins rom adapter. I'm assuming that the 9132A modules/etc don't work in the 9132FT? Anyone know? tony _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Fluke pods
by Les Benito 23 Dec '15

23 Dec '15

I posted a few weeks ago about looking for Fluke pods but have had no luck. Still looking for z80 and 6809 pod. Any assistance to help me find one would be greatly appreciated. I would really love to find the logic probe that came with the Fluke 9010. Those seem to have gone the way of the unicorn! Any help is greatly appreciated.

LCD (VGA) for 9100
by Tony Jones 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

There is a bunch of discussion in the 2012q4 archive on the subject of displays. Curious what people in the US are using? The Commodore/Atari displays are 'retro' now aka $$$. I have an old 15" VGA LCD and was considering getting one of the $20 eBay HD9800/GBS-8200 converter boards mentioned in the past discussion (plus of course necessary sync inversion&composition) Anyone doing similar and happy with the end result? _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Does one need the service disk to get it to see the full amount of ram installed? My unit boots and does a test of the ram, but when the O/S Loads it only sees 4mb ?

Speeding up the 9100?
by John Robertson 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Seeing as we are talking a bit about the 9100 - has anyone looked into speeding one of these up? Used to be there were speedup kits for old Apple and Atari computers that ran the 68000 (9100A uses the 68000) that involved a 68010, 68020, or 68030 and some glue... http://atariage.com/forums/topic/172961-was-16mhz-the-fastest-68000-acceler… Might be fun for someone with some spare time!
