How about this tool for making floppy images ?
by Andre Huijts 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

It's called Samdisk and runs under W2000 and later, It is command line driven though, but so what, the important thing is that if it works you don't need an ancient PC for (re) creating the images as I've seen that Teledisk does, It is listed that Teledisk images can be handled. It also has a pretty detailed scan function to show the format of a floppy.

6502 pod error code
by Andre Huijts 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

OK.... Something I noticed when checking once again my 6502 pod is that the interconnecting pins between the two boards seemed very loose on one side (the more near the lowest part of the pod). I tried to connect them as tight as possible but the spacer near where the ground connection of the flat-cable is placed prevents it to fit really tight. I have a feeling there is still not a good/reliable connection between the boards this way. When I connect it now and run the self-test I get this error: Add line AB12 pin 22 not drivable Neither the original pod manual nor the additional Pod info for the 9100 indicate this error code and what it means. It is clear enough I guess but what do they mean with AB12 ?

OmniFlop
by Andre Huijts 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Guys, I found this very promising looking program to back up the Fluke 9100 floppies: http://www.shlock.co.uk/Utils/OmniFlop/OmniFlop.htm I like it because it runs under Windows, yes even W7 and it supports a load of formats, amongst them OS-9 formats. As a test I am now backing up the V6.0 disks. If anyone is able to recreate these floppies using OmniFlop and try them on a 9100a that would be great, I didn't have the time yet to hook up a monitor/ TV. Instead I dug out my PC which hasn't been used since 2005.....which eventually worked after getting some Raid 0 errors and the videocard loosing power because of what looks like a burnt power connector.... Anyway, OmniFlop recognizes the Fluke floppies as Gravograph ISIS format, which is a computer controlled engraving machine. If anyone has a "spare" system they can try out these floppy images on so that we know if OmniFlop works for us that would be great ! :) Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPad _______________________________________________ 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/

More updates to ftp - FLUKE
by John Robertson 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Not sure if anyone else cares, but I have been cleaning up the Fluke subdirectory for the past few days. Have eliminated many duplicate and superfluous files (files both in zips and unzipped), sorted out the various DOS applications for the 9010 and 9100 and zipped them up better. Will continue to review site, but I think it is easier to navigate and a bit more obvious. Next challenge is to organize the 9010 scripts - that is a mess! Give me a week or two to get around to that...
