Would anyone happen to have the PC software for a Bytek 135h ? I have been trying to organize things and found this gem in one of many boxes in storage. _______________________________________________ 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/

Gotek w/ FlashFloppy and github service disk problems
by Tim Matthews 22 Jul '20

22 Jul '20

Hi all, I am trying to resurrect a 9100 with dead HD and switch it to SCSI-CF. I have no way of creating a real system floppy so have installed a gotek, flashed it to FlashFloppy 2.14. Using info from Porchy's site and Tony Jones' post to this list, I've got an FF.CFG set to shugart, jumper on D0 and nowhere else. I took the kryo stream from 9100A-USAF/SERVICE-V1.4 and using HxCFloppyemulator tool imported the stream and re-exported as both hfe and img. With both of those files on USB booting softkeys+F2+F4 gets the 9100 trying to boot, but it fails. The gotek shows cylinder reads 0-3, lower side only, for less than a second. Switching the gotek to the second image and rebooting the 9100 has the same result. I installed the logging gotek FW and can show the gotek is seeing/mounting the images and serving (log excerpt below [0]). I have also tried an FF.CFG with host set to fluke, but the results are identical. I've hooked the gotek to a PC and used it to boot dos floppy images so I know the device, fw and cabling is good (had a different FF.CFG for the pc, but only the interface value). My converted image details are: service.hfe: 2,213,376 bytes sha1 f9c6dbf07ab84b3cecaa52a2563b315ffe338beb service.img 655,360 bytes sha1 0dca7b164fcfadfd5cf7eb9be99888318b510408 I am pretty certain the hardware setup is ok, so I think the issue is with the images. If anybody has an hfe or img of the service disk they can point me to I would be incredibly appreciative :D All advice is very welcome! thanks, [0] flashfloppy log excerpt Name: 'service-stream' Type: hfe Attr: 20 Clus: 000000be Size: 2213376 Fast Seek: 1 frags Cache 29 items Cache 105 items Before: After: Current slot: 1/1 Name: 'service-stream' Type: img Attr: 20 Clus: 0000032a Size: 655360 Fast Seek: 1 frags Cache 34 items Cache 105 items _______________________________________________ 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/

Parting out lot of Tektronix scopes 7704 vintage
by Art 16 Jul '20

16 Jul '20

First let me apologize for this likely being in the wrong place or otherwise somehow mis-posted. Those who remember me from the arcade game newsgroups may well remember that I never had a very good grip on posting procedures and protocols. That said - I acquired 2 Tek 7704s, a 7834, 7704A, a pair of the 3 slot versions of the 7704, model number escapes me at the moment, 7623, 7633, and a 5103. At the moment none of them work properly. The 7704A and the 7834 both worked properly until I used them to test a batch of plugins and each was damaged by bad 7A26 vertical amps. I checked the power supplies on both and they are ok. I don't have the understanding of scope operating theory, the patience, and most of all, the desire, to fix these. In addition I do not wish to ship working scopes of that weight and bulk; getting to be an old fart now and don't want to haul a packed 45 pound scope up my cellar stairs to the porch for UPS. So - all but one of the 7704s worked to the extent of being able to verify that HV was present and the CRT had usable brightness; most had either vertical or horizontal deflection. The 7834 was working, the storage buttons produced various changes in the phosphor. All I believe have decent complete knob sets except for one of the 7704s. Holler if you need anything and we can work something out on price. If you are willing to pay the extra shipping I will sell the 7704s if I can ship them in 2 pieces, separating the display from the acquisition unit. Hope this finds you all safe and healthy - stay that way :) Art - From NY _______________________________________________ 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/

Fluke 900a Logic Comparator
by Steve Larkins 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

Hey guys Yet another one that I thought should be on it's own thread. So I have the Fluke 900a that is complete and includes the flight case along with all the cables, modules and some cartridges. I put some information up on here sometime back: https://sites.google.com/site/poachersrope/test-equipment/logic-testers/flu… I haven't touched this since I got it over 10 years ago and it's time for it to go. Again any interest? Any ideas on value? This is already in a flight case so international shipping from the UK can be arranged. 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/

Anyone have an EETools TopMax USB version EPROM burner?
by Joe Magiera 20 Apr '20

20 Apr '20

Anyone on here have an EETools TopMax USB version EPROM burner? I have the parallel port version. I know EETools is not updating the software for the parallel port version anymore, but I think I found a software problem and I'd like to see if someone with a USB version has the same problem. If you have this and are willing to try a few quick/easy tests, please contact me off list.

FS: Fluke 9100A clock module(s)
by Tony Jones via Techtoolslist 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

I have a few of these. $22 each including USA 1st class mail shipping. Sorry, with C19 I have no interest in shipping Internationally as it requires I stand in line at the USPS. There are no test clips/grabbers. Just the leads. See attached picture. Some have the metal Amp DB15 connector (FT era) and some have the plastic Fluke marked DB15 (A era). If you care, please specify. PayPal gift/f&f else cover fees Comparison; this is the cheapest I can find currently on eBay (not my listing) https://www.ebay.com/itm/283836539996 As I said, none of mine have the test clips, You'll need to provide your own, any grabber that fits a female "dupont" style connector (HP etc) should work.

Scope question - Tektronix 2230 & XY
by John Robertson via Techtoolslist 30 Mar '20

30 Mar '20

Anyone have a 2230 and can run a quick test for me? My unit seems to work just fine except in XY mode. I can adjust the CH2 position normally up/down, however CH1 Position control is reversed for XY and only does a small range just to the right of center. In normal mode the CH1 Position adjust works as expected. Pretty sure that result is wrong but the schematics I have are not so clear, even though they are from the Tek download files area, and hard to follow as a result. Thanks!
