DATA I/O 29B
by John Robertson 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

Anyone using this with an IBM compatible and able to use function 16 (Raw Binary)? What revision of software is you base unit? Would it be possible to get a copy? Arghhh... I find the 29B to be very effective programmer, but it is frustrating to burn old PROMS by first copying the data to a 2716 to get it into the RAM on the 29B!

HP 5004a probe clips?
by tom mcclintock 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

Does anyone have a source for those gray clips that "plug" onto the end of the star/stop/clock wires for the HP 5004a? And as an aside, I was able to find a handful of those tiny wires that plug into the "probe". E-mail me if you need one. tom

Signature Analyzers
by Chris Hardy 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

All the talk about Signature Analyzers has got me wanting one now... (especially since I've got a few Atari board to fix at the moment) I'm wondering if anyone has seen any SA kit's or designs out in the WWW, or should I be looking for a second hand one..

FWIW, I recommend picking up an inductive pickup audio tracer, often called a sniffer in the telecom field. Consider it an audio o'scope. Handy for tracing wires, checking CPU activity or watchdogging, audio circuits. Especially good for listening to DAC/Op-amp activity on vector boards.

I've got: The fluke 9010a w/ RS232 interface and 6809/E, Z80, 6800, 8085, 8080, 6502 pods and the probe The Fluke 90 - Z80 board tester. Kurz kasch TF-650 with various cards including the 309AC. I'm sure this can easily be duplicated if anyone wants me to scan in a picture. It actually works too. I also have the 1000a/b card which allows me to test the TF-650 itself. It's come in handy several times. (I'm still looking for that 247A John R. - I just got to find where I put that box of cards). I inherited 1000's of TTL chips from my ex-roomate. Nothing like having every 7400 series chip you could ever need. HP logic comparator HAKKO Soldering Station Tektronix 465M 100Mhz Oscilloscope HP 5004A Signature Analyzer Data I/O 29B Eprom Programmer with Unipak 2B B&K Picture Tube rejuvenator with universal adapter Various tools - westek logic probe, High Voltage probe, ESR Meter, Flyback tester, etc. A couple pattern generators. + some homemade test fixtures. And if you're still reading... these are the games I currently have in my posession. 2 Star Wars, Battlezone, tempest, Space fury coctail, Stratovox, Frogs, Astroblaster, Space Invaders Deluxe Upright and cocktail, Death Race, Ms. Pac-man, Star Castle, 2 Armor Attacks, Solar Quest, Tac-Scan + various boards and multi-game kits.
