Fluke 9110FT SPECTRUM-TX diskettes imaged
by Martin Olsson 10 May '23

10 May '23

Hi all! I bought a Fluke 9110FT setup and with that setup came the SPECTRUM-TX diskettes which I now have imaged and uploaded to the "/TTL/Test_Equipment/Fluke/9100 Series" folder on John's FTP site. Inside the ZIP archive is a ReadMe with more details about the images etc. I haven't tested the images myself but I think they should probably work as the original diskettes was error free. Enjoy! /Martin! _______________________________________________ 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/

ftp site is down...
by John Robertson 23 Dec '22

23 Dec '22

Does anyone know Tim Matthews (in the UK) and can ask him if he is aware his web site arcadetech.org is down? He is hosting the TTL library (I have a complete archive of course) and I noticed it was down when I tried to upload some files yesterday. I sent him an email but did not hear back. The domain is listed as active until 2020 so it must be a server thing... Thanks!

ADDR ERROR @ XXXXh - LOOP?
by John Robertson 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

And here is a new one for me, don't recall seeing that error message before, nor can I find reference to it in the 9010A Operator Manual. Pressing the MORE key gives me "ADDR BITS 0100 - LOOP?" so I assumed this was some sort of a decode issue and will proceed accordingly. Just thought I would post it here in case anyone else runs across this rare error message which I assume was added to the 3A ROMs in the 9010, but not to the manual - at least the copy I have... (later) It was indeed a problem with some address lines. For only A7 and A8 when loop reading @ 0000 (easiest - all should be Low) with the 9010 probe (set to Address) the Low light was flickering, not steady Low. Turned out to be a 74LS367 that had two inputs that were somehow pulling the lines slightly high. This did not show up when doing a ROM or BUSS test - only in either of the RAM tests.

searching for Fluke TK80A Rev C schematic and Fluke TestWriter software
by Gonzalo Fernandez 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

Hello: I´m searching for the schematic of the Fluke TK80 trainer board: I have the Fluke TK80A Rev C trainer board, this board has a foil keypad (has no keyboard keys), but all the documentation in the ftp site is for the first release of Fluke TK80 board (keyboard with keys), someone has the schematic of the TK80A Rev C board I have? The Fluke TK80A board is based on 8080 processor and is a trainer board to be used in conjunction with the Fluke 9010A tester. Also I´m searching for the Fluke TestWriter software (option 9020A-925) This software enables you to use the PC as a datalogger, controller,..with the Fluke 9010A attached to the PC serial port (if the Fluke 9010A has the GF option installed) I have searched the ftp site but no luck. I have been able to find the utilities program tape programs, such programs are posted (side A and side B of tape) in ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment/Fluke/9010%20Series/9010A%20Tap… 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/

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!

Hi, I am I am looking for a 9100 video card or the repro made by Andrew. If you have an original or a spare repro PCB, let me know. Andrew told me he will make another run with the updated design but it will take some time. Thanks !

by John Robertson via Techtoolslist 15 Jan '20

Anyone here have the adapter #33? I am looking for the pinout of it so I can make an adapter for my #7 version. Happy to trade the pinout of any one my adapters in exchange for the 33 version. I have #s 1, 3, 4, 5 (have 2 x #5s, trade one for ?), 6, 7, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24, 31, 35, 36, 40. These work with model 467, 470, 480, 490, and 490B Picture Tube CRT Tester/Rejuvenator Schematics of the 490 would be nice too...(and a pony!) The list would be the 12 pin Molex plug pins to the picture tube connector (or vice-versa). As an example - Adapter #36 (n/c - No Connection) Molex Tube Adapter pin # 01 5 02 6 03 n/c 04 11 05 n/c 06 10 07 9 08 8 09 n/c 10 12 11 n/c 12 1 John :-#)# -- How to subscribe or unsubscribe from TTL http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist _______________________________________________ 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/

by Marc Desfossés 11 Jan '20

11 Jan '20

Hi, I decided to step in the big game. Looking for a Fluke 9100A or preferably the 9100FT with the video card. I am also in search of the 9132A sync module that usually comes with the memory module.

9010 and Konami 1 cpu?
by davids＠oz.net 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Working on a Konami jailbreak board. The Cpu is a Konami-1 which is a 6809E with some built in encryption stuff (and two more pins). Anyone ever used a fluke on one of these? Any idea how to wire up an adapter or if there is one out there?
