Tape for Fluke async clock probe
by Ian Eure 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

Does anyone have a good, complete dump of the tape that came along with the async probe for the Fluke 9010a? I have a console with the async clock module, and the probe, but no copy of the tape, which is needed to tun it. I've found a few dumps[1][2][3], but they all appear to be incomplete. Per the manual[4], the tape has two sides, but I don’t see any dumps of side B. All three of the side A dumps are missing programs 12-18, they only have “<BINARY>” placeholders. These seem to be the programs which actually drive the async probe, so it seems unlikely that it would operate without them. Perhaps binary data can’t be transferred via the serial port? I’ll be very annoyed if that’s the case, since working tape drives are rare and I don’t think anybody has figured out how to repair them.

Tape for Fluke 9010a async clock probe
by Ian Eure 19 Jan '16

19 Jan '16

I’ve tried to send this message a few times, but it seems to be going into a black hole for some reason. In any case, does anyone have a good dump of the tape necessary to run the async clock probe? I have a 9010a console with the option, and the probe, but the tape with the program to run it is missing. I found some dumps, but they’re incomplete. A Fluke hex dump that I can upload via the serial port would be ideal, my 9010a doesn’t have a working tape drive. _______________________________________________ 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/

Fwd: 9100 Keyboard Adapter Files
by John Robertson 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

(Martin asked me to post this - he also said "I updated my site and everything needed to build the adapter is now available on my site once more. Thats not going anywhere for now.") Hi John, I hope you are well. I’m not on the TT list any more, and I don’t really want to re-join just to post this so could you relay this message for me please. I will make the binary files available (GB layout and USA layout) on my website shortly, along with the latest version of the circuit. I should note that the circuit did have 1 or possibly 2 errors. I don’t recall if i corrected them or not. Hell, I struggle to remember what I did 2 months ago, let alone 8 years back. Bottom line is that if people have the know-how to properly use a Fluke 9100 then they most certainly have the know-how to know if the PIC circuit is correct or not. It’s mostly common sense when you build it. *** Regarding the source, I took it off my website years ago. Yes, I foolishly passed it on to one or two people who proceeded to question this and question that. For this reason, I expressly stated that I no longer wanted the source to be distributed regardless of what it may or may not say in the files (refer to my point above about my bad memory - I’m not kidding here). I thought I made this request quite politely and clearly. I most certainly did not give permission for it to be made available on some public distribution / contribution site like GitHub. *** Bottom line, it saddens me firstly that people seem to be incapable of just taking something, doing what they wish with it for their own use, without feeling the need share it with the world. I’ll leave it there. I WAS quite happy for people to take it use it for themselves. Finally, i’d like to say that the assumption that the number of 9100 owners could fit in a phone booth (box, I’m English!) is out and out nonsense. The amount of queries I’ve had over the years hold testament to that and we all know that these things are still very much actively pursued by industry, that’s half the reason the prices are driven so damn high. I would far sooner all this creative and technical talent be put to use to put together a modern alternative than chasing after the old stuff! Bottom line is that I have some personal things going on at the moment that mean I cannot provide any help and support with something I did 8 years ago, I simply have more important things on my mind. Apologies in advance to anyone that might be new to the 9100 but seriously, if you’re technical enough to know what your doing with the fluke, I’m sure that with what I will have on my site you can work it out.

Fluke 9100a & 9100ft VGA modification
by Steve Larkins 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hello list I just spent the last couple of evening working on modifying my 9100ft to colour VGA after years of using the fluke black and white monitor. I have documented how I have done it on my website here: https://sites.google.com/a/boomspace.co.uk/poachersropeworkshop/test-equipm… I have also documented how I replaced the SCSI hard drive with the SCSI2SD adapter. Many thanks to Martin White and Andrew Welburn for their previous work and assistance. Cheers Steve Larkins _______________________________________________ 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/

9100a lives
by David Shoemaker 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Got a scsi2sd adapter with 4gb card. Grabed the 6.1 image and used win32diskimg to write it to the sdcard. Opened up my 9100. Had v5.0 roms in it so didn't change them yet. Connected scsi and power to new adapter and it boots. With 6502 pod connected and the cable in selftest position when I boot it I am getting a message: "enable line causes timeout". The pod (6502) passed selftest: Main menu - pod - enter Any idea what that message means? Is there a real getting started guide out there? The one on ttl is more an unboxing guide than a new user guide.

Hello list Quite a few people have been asking about what the difference is between the fluke 9010a and the 9100a and I just found this edition of Troubleshooter which is straight form the horses mouth. I have uploaded it to my google site here: https://sites.google.com/site/poachersrope/test-equipment/logic-testers/flu… Or a direct link here: https://docs.google.com/a/ukaudiovisual.co.uk/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZG… Cheers Steve Larkins _______________________________________________ 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 9100 probe
by Douglas Gauck 06 Jan '16

06 Jan '16

I just identified an orphaned probe I’ve had in storage for a while now and believe it’s for the 9100. See here: http://www.gauck.com/arcade/fluke/9100probe.jpg <http://www.gauck.com/arcade/fluke/9100probe.jpg> I have a 9010 with its probe, so I don’t need this (unless you all think I should sell the 91010 and get the 9100!) Anyone need it? Any idea what it’s worth? -Douglas _______________________________________________ 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/
