WTD: Data I/O 29B
by Franklin Bowen 17 Jan '04

17 Jan '04

I need to burn some EPROMs so I thought I would pick up a Data I/O 29B since they seem to be highly regarded and reasonably priced. Anyone selling one for cheap? :-) I see a couple on E-bay (see links below) but one has a Logic Pak. What is the Logic Pak? I assume I need one with a Unipak 2B, right? Also, are the manuals available on-line? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2588747828 (with Unipak 2B) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2588945572 (with Logic Pak) Thanks! -- 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

Anyone interested in a broken Fluke 9010a?
by Matt Rossiter 12 Jan '04

12 Jan '04

I'm doing some spring cleaning and have a complete fluke 9010a, but it doesn't work. It would be good for parts. It's even somewhat clean. Anyway, I just ask for shipping. The rest of it's free whoever wants to claim it. It's also got the RS232 port. I may have some other free stuff laying around that I'm getting sick of. :) Matt 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

Asteroids scripts...
by John Robertson 04 Jan '04

04 Jan '04

Anyone want to work on these with me? I have a pile of Asteroids boards and I'd like to get a couple running. All have issues in their vector section - the idea is to automate the process somewhat (not as much as the 9100 can handle!) enough to enable someone that is moderately proficient with board repair to be able to have better procedures for Asteroids (and Deluxe as well). I'm thinking of adding in the signature work from http://www.gamearchive.com/Video_Games/Manufacturers/Atari/signatures/ as a base to run after one does the simple RAM Rom ext tests of the existing Asteroids script. I would be happy to use an external SA device as most folks don't have a built in SA on their 9010s (I have a couple of these machines but haven't gotten around to using that feature). Script Generator http://tech.quarterarcade.com/tech/CodeGenerator/Default.aspx is a great starting place, but can one insert existing code into it and then operate the generator?... John :-#)#

I'm thinking to build this IC on Altera EPM7064SLC44-10 using MAX+PLUS II BASELINE Software (http://www.altera.com/products/software/pld/products/max/sof-emax_baseline.…) but I have the daughter card ready to test, and it looks like beautifull ;) Steve, what schematics are you using ? The one that circulate on the web some years ago ? I think from Mark Spaeth... Thank you John, I'll contact them...

BUT to my surprise it worked first time ... now to translate the design into a PAL / PLA / CPLD .. Steve Hi Guys ! Does anyone know some source for prototype PCB. I'm building one MB14241 daughter card, and now it's time to test it. I don't want to wire about 160 nets using wire warp... it's so boring... I'm trying to contact Futurlec (www.futurlec.com) but with no success..

Hello Folks ! The first part of the project, will make a Test Pattern, once the RS232 does not have enough speed to make a the Speed Test. Most of SRAM memories fail at this point... It consists on fill all addresses with 0s, 1s and pattern like 0000000000 0000000001 0000000010 0000000100 0000001000 0000010000 0000100000 0001000000 0010000000 0100000000 1000000000 0100000000 0010000000 0001000000 0000100000 0000010000 0000001000 0000000100 0000000010 0000000001 And repeat at inverse way (0s in place os 1s and 1s in place of 0s) The second part of the project, I'm planning to make on clock circuit (up to 20MHz) to make the Speed Test, filling all addresses with 0s and another test filling with 1s. The software control, will be another important part of this project. I hope to share experiences with you guys, and ALL comments will be very welcome !!! I'm studing PIC microcontroles, and soon I hope to have one PCless tester :) Thank you JosÈ Luiz Martins De:"joemagiera" Para: CÛpia: Data:Mon, 29 Dec 2003 17:11:04 -0600 Assunto:RE: Parallel Port Ram Tester from Brazil! > Hi Luiz, > > Welcome to our list!
