Hi Can anyone help please ? I need a dump of Atari System 1 - IC 7F - 82S153 PLA Fuse Map so I can work out the logic equations. I'm working on a Repro Syngen IC but my kit can't read the IC. I've done the Prom, now just need the PLA !!

Fluke 900 Digital Troubleshooter questions....
by Jess Askey 11 May '16

11 May '16

Hey Folks... last week I was bidding on a B&K Precision 560 (not A) and missed it.... Ended up going for about $$$$$$550 USD!!!! I quit @ $508. :) By luck I found something 'better'.. the Fluke 900 Digital Troubleshooter (some good docs on the TechtoolList FTP site...thanks!).... I got one on Ebay for a good deal with 'make an offer'... but I need some things.... The first biggie is that the seller didn't have the interface board which plugs into J1 and J2 and is required.... So if anyone has a 'spare' let me know, I know it is a longshot, but it never hurts to ask with this group. :) Also, the PC software doesn't seem to exist anywhere out there, so I'm looking for that and if you have it encourage you to get it up on the TTL FTP site too..... it is a DOS program but I'm very interested in potentially writing an updated UI version to at least load and save libraries and try and eliminate needing lots of 'library cartridges'. Hit me up off list if you have a Fluke 900 and want to conspire!!

68000 pod question
by Tony Jones 05 May '16

05 May '16

Howdy Is there a version 3 or later of the 68000 pod manual? The reason I'm asking is that page 68000-2 of the [9100] Supplemental Pod Information manual refers to sections of the pod manual ("pod-specific setup information"/"pod manual reference") but the section numbers don't match either version of the manual I have access to (v1 from flippers ftp, v2 in printed form). It seems they happily renumbered between revisions rather than appending changes to the end. Page 1-1 of the v2 manual says it's for version 6.0 of the firmware which I thought was the last version. I can figure out the mapping based on names, but was just curious if there is a later version of the manual based on the above inconsistency. Also, specific to the 9100[FT] does anyone know how to obtain the 68000 pod software version. It's not specified in version 1 of the manual, it's "4.36 Software Revision Level - Address F000 0012" in version 2 of the manual. I get "invalid address" when attempting to read/write any of these pod special addresses (outside normal address range). I just fixed my 68000 pod and I'm trying to figure out what software version it has based on info from this thread: http://www.ukvac.com/forum/fluke-68000-pod-repair_topic342750_post888283.ht… My ROM checksums don't match those listed as v2 or v5 but the EPROMS are 24 pin so they don't appear to be version 6.0 (based on later comment in the above thread). Thanks Tony _______________________________________________ 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/

Data I/O Series 22 problem
by vector 01 May '16

01 May '16

I purchased a Series 22.... and now that I've ruined 6 Harris 7641 equivalent PROMs (minimum value about $15)... I've determined what the symptoms are I am seeing. This is a 512 byte PROM. I'm thinking A6 line to the PROM during read is either high or floating, as if you break the 512 byte range into 8 blocks of 64 bytes you should have ABCDEFGH When I read a good source rom in, I use edit and compare it against a known good hex dump, and I'm seeing BBDDFFHH with blocks A, C, E, and G missing. This would seem to idnicate that the A6 line is high during read. Unfortunately my MOD-EMUP which should handle these PROMs 49 times out of 50 (or so it seems) will read any 7641 or compatible as all FFs (which it probably ins't reading anything... and the FFs were part of the EMUP's software clear). I think I read you can read these as a 2732 and the 512 bytes ends up repeated I think in specific positions in the read.... I have to google that again to see if during the writes, the A,C,E,and G blocks are all 0 still like on a blank PROM. I'm going to strip it down to look at the boards... and check first at the socket. If that line is floating will I get this behavior, or only if it is driven high ?

Re: [Techtoolslist] Adapter interface for the DEC-T11 CPU and Fluke pod?

9100A-8086 documents going up now. Note the main manual needs to be split (scanned as a book - 11X17). If someone want to do this great - I don't know how at the moment. If Adobe Acrobat can do that please let me know the process, otherwise if someone else wants to fix that file into 8-1/2 X 11 pages (and the 11X17 schematics) I'm sure someone will appreciate it (besides me). ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment/Fluke/PDFs/Pods/ Thanks, John :-#)# On 04/12/2016 11:32 AM, John Robertson wrote: > Found my 8086 manual - and the addendum info.

Adapter interface for the DEC-T11 CPU and Fluke pod?
by John Robertson 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

Has anyone here figured out an adapter for one of the Fluke 9010 pods to be able to emulate the multiplexed address and data lines of the T11? I am just starting to look at this as I need to access these lines to service an old video game board that used the T11 as the main processor. Any of you not familiar with the DEC-T11 it is a 40 pin device that emulates a PDP11 as far as I can understand. I don't know anything about the PDP11 technically though so am pretty much hacking my way through inventing a troubleshooting procedure, which the manufacturer of the game - Atari (System 2, Paperboy, AFB, etc,) - did not provide. Just flinging this out in the hopes someone here can help.

Atari System II tech info?
by John Robertson 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Has anyone found any service info on the Atari System II boards beyond the basic schematics and patent #4930074 filed in 1986 (thanks to Jed Margolin for the link - http://www.jmargolin.com/patents/atpats.htm)? I have a Paperboy that only shows about 8 'Motion Objects' instead of the 39 that are supposed to be there. All other tests pass fine. Motion objects are blocky and continuously break up. All the 6116s test out fine on the video board, ran them through my standalone RAM tester (RAMTek). The patent looks like my best shot - printing it out and read that.
