Data I/O 29B LogicPak: question and anyone want to scan manuals?

Data I/O 29B LogicPak: question and anyone want to scan manuals? I have manuals for 303A-006 and 303A-009 (I think that's right). Are they available on-line? If not, I would be happy to donate them to someone who would scan them and make them freely available. I tried my LogicPak and adapters and none worked. Most of them gave me an error 65 which is firmware checksum (or something like that). Anyone know what this means and how to resolve it? I got an ugly little surprise when I pulled the adapter off the LogicPak for the first time. A little cockroach started scuttling around in the adapter! I had to dismantle it to get the cockroach out. I hope that was the only one in there! -- Franklin Bowen (Franklin(a)Bowen.net) http://fmbbowen.com:39353 If you ever want to (un)subscribe yourself with TTL, you can send mail to: <Majordomo(a)flippers.com> with the following command in the body of your email message: (un)subscribe techtoolslist or from another email account, besides xxx(a)yyy.com: (un)subscribe techtoolslist xxx(a)yyy.com

I'm looking for Slot Machine manuals/schematics. At this point I'm interested in any I don't have Specifically I'm looking for.... IGT Fortune I (video Poker) IGT S+ (good quality schematics as mine are too poor to read) Summit Autoslot (schematics) I have some stuff to trade if interested.

RFC

Hi All, As the subject says this is a request for comments. The ICE MKII project is still progressing all be it slowly due to problems getting the CPLD for the signature analysis and frequency counter to work, they simulate fine but don't seem to work in the 'real world' so I'm having to build them in discrete logic to actually test the design works. The USB comms work beautifully thanks to the simplicity of the FDTI interface chip . So while I am waiting for renewed enthusiasm to strike I've started writing the Windows IDE for it. I've put a few screenshots up of the user interface and would appreciate some constructive criticism. The interface isn't set in stone as yet but I'd prefer not to make drastic functionality changes, but I am already considering some layout changes and some small functional improvements. Also if anyone is handy at creating Icons then some help would be appreciated, see 'a plea of sorts' on the main page for an explaination. Anyway the project main page is at http://www.muppzlab.co.uk/projects/iceii.htm so comments/constructive criticism please.

Hi Mike, >but can we have bit masks for ram Excellent comment I'll look into it, one of the things I have left to do is allow configurable parameters for the ram/io tests. While the hardware does pass back the the failing bits/location currently it would be up to the operator to decide which ram it was if we were talking pairs of 2114's or the like. Within a script you could report back the failure of a particular IC fairly easily but as you point out not so in the standalone mode. >should the memory map / IO etc not be a tree from the CPU Excellent point no 2. I did notice this failing when I created the project for the screenshots and was in 2 minds about how to resolve it, my own fault for using boards with single cpus while developing and getting tunnel vision. Option 1 was to totally cop out and leave it as-is for the operator to maybe create multiple project files 1 for the main board and others for sub boards, not really an ideal situation. Option 2 do something else but wasn't sure what. Now you've given me a solution :o) As for USB chips I don't have stock of them as yet I bought an off the shelf module from the manufacturers distributor to minimise the development phase of the comms side of things. It has all the components and connector on a 32pin dip module but at £25 a pop I won't be using them on the finished design.

well, I'm sure you have throught of it already, but can we have bit masks for ram - so you can check memory where only 3 or 4 bits are populated (colour ram on some games for instance), also adding a mask to a ram area would allow you to ID the actual chip e.g. galaxians 4000-43FF mask 0f would isolate a single ram chip, obviously 4000-43FF mask F0 would be the other chip. either that or the ability to ID chips in a memory area 4000-43FF mask 0f = 7P, mask f0 = 7Q (n.b. chip locations are not correct, it's just to indicate what I mean!) for multiple CPU boards, should the memory map / IO etc not be a tree from the CPU, that way you select which CPU socket you are plugged into, and see the memory maps for that CPU ... CPU support - if you can do Z80, S2650 should be a doddle if you want anything done / tested etc, then I'm willing to help - my icon drawing skills are probably not good, but I can program and test things ... (s2650 support for instance) I was going to ask if you had any spare USB chips so I could look at the long delayed project of connecting fluke pods to a PC, but then this would make fluke pods unecessary anyway! > I've put a few screenshots up of the user interface and would appreciate > some constructive criticism.
