Re: [Techtoolslist] EPROM Emulator Questions

That's mine John. Something I put together to facilitate testing changes on Atari Vectors a few years back. I needed something with more flexibility than a bucket full of eproms and a bulk uv eraser to keep up with development.

Missing Fluke Tech Lit
by John Robertson 19 Jul '19

19 Jul '19

I was reviewing my 1984 Fluke Catalog and they have a list of Tech articles for the Micro-System Troubleshooters: On TTL B0127-FlukeAvoidingPotentialProblemsWhenGetting Started B0146-9020A_IEEE-488ProductionTest B0156-User_Designed_Interface_Pod_Adapters B0163-The_Probe_and_the_Program Missing (as of 1984): B0145 - Understanding Noise Spectra B0147 - Remote Operation (9020A) B0151 - Guide to 8085 Micro-Processor Based System Testing (not the 8085 Pod Manual) I'm sure there are many more we are missing, but these wouldn't hurt to add if anyone has a copy and is bored some evening and has a scanner handy!

FYI, I can't see any of these images.

Compared with the Dataman S3 and S4 we had, it was just as fast to use for emulation and much cheaper. I'd probably buy one if they were available again at the right price, but I don't have the capacity/capability to help create one unfortunately.
