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 9010 ram test for 4 bits? Or any non 8 bit wide memory?
by davids＠oz.net 04 Dec '23

Have a suspect bad pallet ram on Missile Command, and I see that it is on the CPU memory map so I should be able to get to it from the fluke. Now it is only 4 bits wide (and only uses 8 addresses) so I can just do it manually but I have seen this on other boards before and never could find a way to use the fluke to test these 4 bit rams. Would also assume it could be a problem for 68000 based boards which use 16bit wide memory.

FS: NOS Fluke 9100A/AF manual set

Hi - I snagged this set a few years ago and never ended up using it. There’s also a NOS test / diags board as well. Some of the manuals have some minor wear from being shipped (creases on edge and scuffs), but nothing major. Asking $265 shipped unless you can do local pickup in Tacoma, WA. Thanks for your time, Justin Justin Sent from my mobile _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site 2005-Current: https://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/ Vectorlist Archives 1997/99 - 2016: https://www.vectorlist.org/

KryoFlux floppy handling...writing.
by John Robertson via Techtoolslist 20 Jun '23

I've set up my KryoFlux disc reader and it is creating good copies of my Fluke 9100 floppies, but I can't figure out how to write to them using KryoFlux. I have it setup in the GUI on my Mac with these settings and it works just fine, making good image files like uut_test.img. The problem is I can't seem to write the files to floppies using the same interface. I tried: dtc -fuut_test.img -v300 -z1 -i4 -w but I get: Image name: Can't open image file: I've been poking around the https://forum.kryoflux.com/ but as they haven't gotten around to letting me log in it is really, really slow to search - have to wait around 80 seconds between searches. So I thought maybe someone here has the answer... I will post the answer here once I either figure it out or someone tells me what it is. The floppy drive I am using is from the 90s and works just fine. Thanks!
