Fluke 900 dynamic troubleshooter
by Backflipper 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Hello list, I have recently put my faulty 900 back on the bench to test after receiving a missing pod. I decided to post up some information in the hope that other people may be able to shed some light on my findings and let me know there findings. Better still has anyone got the service manual? Anyway the details can be found on my website here: http://sites.google.com/site/poachersrope/test-equipment/logic-testers/fluk… Thanks in advance.

9010 tapes
by Mike Salay 12 Jul '09

12 Jul '09

Some months ago Scott (thomas43_at_aol.com <thomas43(a)aol.com>) sent someone his collection of 9010 tapes (see post below). He doesn't recall who took ownership of the tapes, but I'm hoping they were readable and the programs can be made available. thanks, Mike > I have a bunch of tapes here that I received with a unit I bought from an operator. > There are a bunch of test routines for games like Galaga, Tempest, Battlezone and others (about 20 tapes). > Does anyone here want to play with them, and post up the info for others to share? I don't have the time to mess with these. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Some test rigs i picked up recently...
by andy＠andysarcade.net 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

hi all.. Here are some interesting ancient test rigs i picked up recently : http://www.andysarcade.net/pix/newtestrigs/ Atari RAM/ROM tester - Got from the USA with an original manual, untested so far, but it goes nicely with my CTF-1 :) Atari PBS-1 - Comes with switch matrix unit and Light matrix/power supply unit, some crushed connectors, but should be a worker. Sorry John, i got no cards at all to go with this :| have you got any at all? Atari Superman Pinball testrig - This looks like it might be a prototype, it is so well put together, who knows? It came from the main Atari distributer for Atari in the UK in the early 80's - MHG, so the provenance is good. Kurz-Kasch - Signature II, very early signature analyser, nice neat little box. I actually have 4 of these, drop me a line if you're interested in one! (switchable line voltage 110/240) Very surpisingly, everything but the ram/rom tester was obtained in the UK, and was used here in the UK 'back in the day'. Gotta love all those twinkling lights.

Hey Andy, Great haul. So, on the RAM/ROM tester, immediate first question that came to my mind, can it test the multiple-voltage RAM, like 4116's?

Data I/O 29B with USB to Serial Adapter
by Matt Rossiter 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi Everybody, I posted earlier about having issues with sending a file to the Data I/O 29B programmer with an Airlink101 USB to Serial Adapter. It would hang while waiting for a response from the programmer and never finish. Well, someone told me he had success with the Trendnet TU-S9 adapter. I got one off of Amazon.com and sure enough this one works. Out of curiosity, I wondered if after installing the Trendnet drivers if the Airlink101 would work. Amazingly enough now both adapters work! So if anyone is having the same problem as I had - I'd be interested to know if installing this driver here [1] fixes your problem also.

Also, the guy that "owns" filppers.com (that hosts this list) posted usenet (google groups) wanted messages about the ML4100 as recently as 2002. flippers.com doesn't make any mention of the ML4100 now, so I was hoping maybe John Robertson might be willing to part with some of what he collected. Does he read this list?

Reposting this because I didn't get a single reply on or off list. Did it in fact make it to the list the first time? --------------------------------------------------- I have an ML4100 that has and is serving me well. I have most of the various pods and ROMs for it and duplicates of many of them. Two things I'm missing (based on my reading of the documents) are an RE-016 ROM emulator (with RS-232 interface) and an AB-032 non-volatile memory. Anybody have either of these that they might be convinced part with for trade or cash? Non-working would be fine. I enjoy troubleshooting. Alternatively, any explanations of why they are not very useful or worth having at all would also be of interest.

Willem EPROM programmer...
by Bill Sudbrink 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

I'm new to the list. I collect and repair/restore 8-bit microcomputers from the 1970's. I'm considering picking up one of the Willem EPROM programmers that seem to always be available on ebay for pretty cheap. I've gone through the list archives and see that there was a discussion on this subject several years ago but it didn't really come to any firm conclusion. My main use for this tool would be to program 2716s and 2732s. One of the tables in one of the ebay pages suggests that the device can test 6116 static RAMs which would also be useful. I have two concerns: 1) All of the ebay pages emphasize all of the new chips that these gizmos support. Has the "legacy" chip support been lost? 2) Whenever old programmers in good shape come up for auction, they go for a lot more than the "buy-it-now" on these Willems. Why?
