Xeltek Superpro 2000+ repair
by John Robertson 29 Nov '17

29 Nov '17

Anyone using one of these, or has one in a junk drawer? Mine appears to have either a bad 29F040AT-90 or 29F080T-90. Machine gets to Write Memory OK! 7FFFF, in memory test then craps out saying Verify Memory ERROR! 0 0 0 The device programs up to 2MB with no problems, but it gets bad writes on 4MB devices Verifies fine though. My hope is someone else has the sub-memory board (labelled SPABUF) on a used/dead machine or has one or more of these TSOP style chips in their junk box they would sell and ship to me. I am going to get a newer Xeltek (600P) but this old timer (2000+) is nice to have as a spare in case something goes wrong with its replacement.

Assman "Ribbon Cable Tester"
by John Robertson 23 Nov '17

23 Nov '17

Anyone else playing with one of these? It is a ribbon cable tester I found on eBay and you teach it for each cable being tested. It only remembers the current cable under test. Inside it says "Ribbon B2 Hobbes CO." on the main PCB. Doesn't appear to be any town called Hobbes in Colorado...(Calvin & Hobbes pops up of course) This device runs off 9VDC wall wart or has a battery which you can also run it off. My unit drains the battery rather quickly when off and the wall wart is not plugged in. The 9V battery is not used to retain memory, that function is covered with a HM6265WH-70 CMOS RAM which is maintained by a 10Ufd cap that is charged by a diode to the 5VDC buss. That size cap drained from 4.8VDC to 2.6VDC overnight. If you want to store longer, then use a bigger cap. The annoying thing about this tester is the 9V battery drainage means there is always a LOW BATTERY warning on the display. So I have to sketch out the 9V battery circuit and figure out why there are so many jumpers installed from the factory for that battery. I have uploaded manual and photos of the outside and inside of the gizmo in case you are curious to: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment/Assman We are producing ribbon cables for arcade games and it will be nice to have this working correctly.

FS: Fluke 9100A w/-003 Parallel IO and clock module
by Chris Loggans via Techtoolslist 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

I've been going through all of my Fluke equipment recently and have decided to sell off one of my spare 9100A's. This unit has 4MB RAM, version 6.1 OS, a working floppy, and has been converted to a CF hard drive using a CF to SCSI adapter. I'm also including a 9000A clock module and a 9000A-003 Parallel I/O module with a calibration module, a 40pin module, a 14pin module, and a flying lead module. The only thing I don't have is a video card for it. I'm asking $1600 + actual shipping for everything. If you are local to Northern Virginia, you are welcome to pick it up and save the shipping costs. I've also been converting my other 9100's to use the HxC floppy emulator (http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=121) For an additional $140 to cover the cost of the unit and an SD card, I'll swap out the standard floppy for the HxC and include and SD card with images of all of the standard 9100 software to eliminate the possibility of the 30+ year old floppy failing on you in the future. Please email me off list if you are interested. Pictures can be found here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/138272997@N04/ (Let me know if you have any problems with the link to the pictures. This is my first time trying flickr.)

Who’s using 9100 GFI/UFI?
by Ian Eure 04 Nov '17

04 Nov '17

Just curious to know how many folks out there use these features of their 9100s, and if so, whether anyone would be willing to share their workflows. Are you reading over the schematic and typing in the node connections? Having FI setups for a few boards definitely seems like where I want to go with mine, but the amount of work necessary to progam in the netlist even for a single PCB is daunting. So, just wondering if anyone else has done this, or if folks have different approaches to the problem. _______________________________________________ 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/

I've owned this for about 18 months. All functions work correctly. The only negative is a small tear in the surface of the membrane keyboard (pictured). All keys work correctly and have done for the time I've owned the unit. Price: $235 for the main unit ONLY. $280 for the main unit plus the 3 out-of-circuit test leads (16, 20 and 24 pin; each 3' length). Shipping extra. I charge just what Fedex charges me. No charge for packing materials. Payment terms: Paypal gift, USPS Money Order, Paypal purchase (buyer covers Paypal fees). Trades: always open to trades for other test equipment but I can't think of anything I need at present. FYI I have also listed the item is also listed on the KLOV forum. link to pics/videos: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4f6QpD8ItHybWNDZWZiMERiQTQ 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/

Fluke Compiler Wrapper
by IAN EURE 11 Oct '17

11 Oct '17

I hacked up a tool that will run 9LC.EXE inside DOSBox, so scripts can be more easily compiled on non-Windows and/or non-x86 platforms. From the host OS, it runs just like 9LC does, warts and all. It’s public domain, and should run on most UNIX type systems. https://github.com/ieure/fcw — Ian _______________________________________________ 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/

FA: Fluke 80188 pod (and 80286 question)
by Tony Jones 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

I just listed it on eBay. I doubt it's going to rock anyone's world but it passes self test and is in nice shape. Includes manual. http://www.ebay.com/itm/182819058155. $50 reserve + shipping. I have a 80286H pod + manual that I should hopefully have fixed soon if anyone is interested, I was surprised at the $152.50 + shipping the recent non-working one sold for. I noticed it was a standard 80286 (all the one's I've seen are the hyper/H version). Anyone know the specifics? _______________________________________________ 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/
