Designing a 9010 replacement LED display?
by John Robertson via Techtoolslist 09 Feb '24

09 Feb '24

I was looking at my 9005 and grumbling because the tube is missing, then I pulled out the 9010a service manual and you know, it looks like it would be a pretty easy fix to replace the tube with 32 digit alpha-numeric LEDs of the correct size on a small PCB and all that would be needed is to replace the UDN6118 fluorescent drivers with suitable LED drivers and find a place to grab 5V and ground and then mount the new display to the board... Maybe it would work? Anyone interested in poking at the KiCAD layout? I have no free time, but I know there are folks out there looking for a solution to bad or weak tubes...

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/

Working on a Major Havoc, and the funky memory map (paged, rams & roms) are giving me fits. Anyone have scripts for this game?

Anyone have a way to get old Fluke manuals?
by Barry Shilmover 18 Feb '23

18 Feb '23

All, A bit off topic, but fluke related. Its related to the 1020 keyboard that I got working with the 9100. I have the manual set for the 1020, but not the 1030 or 1050. Does anyone have any contacts that might have access to those manuals? I need to fix the 1050 (gets a white screen) and having the manuals would help Thanks B Sent from my Smith Corona Typewriter _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

ZAX Question
by Omar Vega 16 Feb '23

16 Feb '23

This is probably a stretch but here goes. Does anyone have a Zax CPU S-813 (68k emulation module) they would be willing to part with? These are usually used with the ICD-178. Thanks in advance.

Fluke keyboards question
by Barry Shilmover 14 Feb '23

14 Feb '23

All, I have a couple of Fluke products made for warehouse/assembly (namely the Fluke 1020 and 1050). They are both touch screens with a keyboard. One is monochrome, the other color. Anyway, I picked up the 1020 because it had the keyboard and wanted to see if I could use it with the 9100 (and the monitor is nearly identical inside too). Anyway, the keyboard looks like the original 9100A keyboard from Oak, but the keys are a bit different (see picture). The cable was ruined, so I swapped that. The 9100 recognizes that there is a keyboard attached and goes into programmer’s mode, but the keyboard does nothing except for beeping when keys are pressed (LEDs on the keyboard flash when fluke starts and work when pressed). Since I had it open, I pulled the EPROM and read it, figuring I could take the ROM from the similar 9100A keyboard and make it mostly work. The PCB in the keyboard appears identical, its the strange cpu with the piggybacked eprom. When I compare the ROM file on TTL ftp site and the one I read off my keyboard, they are identical. Which surprised me. All I can think of is that some of the other chips on the pcb are different. Anyone have one of the Oak fluke keyboards that can send me high resolution images of the PCB and chips on the board?
