Data I/O 60A Firmware
by Justin Johnson 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

I have a Data I/O 60A and I finally found an Eprom adapter card for it. It appears that my firmware version is too old to use the 360a-005 eprom card. Does anyone have a firmware V13+ for a 60a?

Fixing the 9100...
by John Robertson 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Two of my 9100s had no screen display, yet seemed to boot- so took the top case off and starting probing with the voltmeter. Found +5 and +12, but when I checked the +70 there was nothing on one, or very low on the other - and one machine had a bit of a burnt smell to it. That machine blew a tantalum surface mount cap, shorting the output of the switching supply that generates the +70 as well as the isolated +5, +12, and -12 (there are relative to the "E" test point lug). This also took out the driver transistors - which Digi-Key still stocks (bought ten to be safe). To reduce the risk of future damage I lifted the end of the choke coil that was closest to the power connector and installed a 20mm fuse holder in series with it and installed a 1A fuse there in the hopes that the fuse will blow before the system smokes up when the next capacitor shorts out - note I checked all the tantalum with the ESR meter and the rest on all my 9100s check fine. I'll make up a page on this with pictures in a few days and jam it up on flippers on the fluke.html page.

9100: How to list drives
by Martin White 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Found it. You want the backup utility, and it's on page 20 of the manual found here: /Test_Equipment/Fluke/PDFs/9100_Fixture/9100A-016_DiskBackup_PN846295_1988.pdf On these very Flipper archives :) The backup utility itself for me, is just living in PROGLIB. I have a sneaky feeling I may have installed it from a floppy. If I did, then that floppy will have come from these archives too as I've never owned any original Fluke floppies. I've also got 'BINSTALL' in that same directory and I've got a feeling that was something to do with it as well? Hope that helps. Something to look into anyway… Martin. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Re: [Techtoolslist] Verified copy of 6.1 now up on TTL
by Martin White 28 Nov '12

Seriously not trying to be clever here but there's certainly a way to get a directory listing of the hard drive, and im so-so thinking it would apply to floppies as well. Only reason I know is that I did it when I was messing about with my drive conversion back in 2008, sent the output to a file, transferred that file over serial to my PC, loaded it up in an editor and had a flick through. Sadly, I can't be more specific than that. My memory isn't great and I can't remember details of what I did 6 months ago, let alone coming up for 5 years. I also can't rule out it bring a program someone may have written on my unit. My unit is in my workshop any I've only just finished my day job so my brain is frazzled. Maybe in a bit I'll at least see if I have still got the output file. If it was a script on my unit, it'll be listed in the output.

It's not an easy answer. If you know the name of a UUT on the floppy, then 'edit | /dr1/UUTname' this will put you in the UUT directory on the floppy to see if there is any partslib/proglib/nodelist or programs to browse. I don't know how to get a UUT list of the contents of a floppy. If you want to know whats on a disk you can just copy it to the hard disk and see what UUT's pop up. The fluke directory structure is fixed in the editor system, there is not a directory list function like in other OS's, programs are confined to existing inside UUT 'folders'. associated libraries or programs are inside each UUT 'folder' too.

Verified copy of 6.1 now up on TTL
by John Robertson 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

I have just restored the 6.1 System and Program (accessory) disc images using SAMDisk (thanks Andre for the tip!). Under /Fluke/9100A/System_DiscsRV6.1_VerifiedOK SAMDisk did the work - found the problems in the original 6.1 files and fixed them, I then loaded them onto my 9100 and it booted and ran. So I then made SAMDisk images of these floppies. You can use the 6.0 Master-User, and likely the IEE488-V6 discs for the pods as far as I can tell - haven't checked that out.

Hooking up a Commodore 1084 or Philips CM8524 or Atari SM1425 to your Fluke 9100
by Andre Huijts 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

If you ever want to hook up one of these great little monitors to your Fluke 9100, here is the type of cable to use: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Commodore-128-80-column-mode-Magnavox-80-RGB-video-… These monitors are still pretty widely available, I picked up two of these for between 10 and 15 Euro's locally, check your local Craig's list, e-bay etc. They were also sold under the Ancona brand in Europe and probably Magnavox in the US. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Re: [Techtoolslist] More updates to ftp - FLUKE
by Andre Huijts 25 Nov '12

25 Nov '12

It does make sense, doesn't it....it would be extremely weird to put +5V on that pin..... Actually....looking at the schematics again it looks like the monochrome monitor is actually FEEDING BACK the +5V judging by the "arrow" going "into" the connector... However, I have a problem now.....I need +5V for the 74LS04....and I don't want to make this a messy job....so I think I'll switch to this: http://www.mikesarcade.com/wiretap/info/SyncInv.pdf Guess I'll have to order a 74C04....

Crystal Castles ROM Address Range
by Justin Johnson 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

This is my first post. I'm learning how to use my Fluke 9010 and ran into a problem doing a CRC check on some of the ROMS. Looking in the MAME source code I found the address ranges for each ROM(see below). ROMs 304 to 305 work fine but the address appears to be out of range for ROMs 101 and 102. ROM 101 according to the source code should start at 10000-11FFF. What address should I be using? Where am I going wrong here?? ROM_START( ccastles ) 513 ROM_REGION( 0x14000, "maincpu", 0 ) 514 ROM_LOAD( "136022-403.1k", 0x0a000, 0x2000, CRC(81471ae5) SHA1(8ec13b48119ecf8fe85207403c0a0de5240cded4) ) 515 ROM_LOAD( "136022-404.1l", 0x0c000, 0x2000, CRC(820daf29) SHA1(a2cff00e9ddce201344692b75038431e4241fedd) ) 516 ROM_LOAD( "136022-405.1n", 0x0e000, 0x2000, CRC(4befc296) SHA1(2e789a32903808014e9d5f3021d7eff57c3e2212) ) 517 ROM_LOAD( "136022-102.1h", 0x10000, 0x2000, CRC(f6ccfbd4) SHA1(69c3da2cbefc5e03a77357e817e3015da5d8334a) ) 518 ROM_LOAD( "136022-101.1f", 0x12000, 0x2000, CRC(e2e17236) SHA1(81fa95b4d9beacb06d6b4afdf346d94117396557) ) 519 520 ROM_REGION( 0x4000, "gfx1", 0 ) 521 ROM_LOAD( "136022-106.8d", 0x0000, 0x2000, CRC(9d1d89fc) SHA1(01c279edee322cc28f34506c312e4a9e3363b1be) ) 522 ROM_LOAD( "136022-107.8b", 0x2000, 0x2000, CRC(39960b7d) SHA1(82bdf764ac23e72598883283c5e957169387abd4) ) 523 Thanks Justin _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
