I was looking through a few of my parts books on various UUT cables and there are several numbers. The 8085 and 6502 share the same part number but the 8080 is different. There are probably other differences. I guess we shall just have to make lists of the cable part numbers...who has time? Right now I don't - that is if I want to get customers boards out! I have found that the Taito Space Invaders sound board can be tested easily, the sound memory location are: 10003h data XX10 0000 Mute off 10003h data XX10 0010 Mute off, Fire! 10003h data XX10 0001 Mute off, UFO! 10005h data 0000 1111 sets Thumpa, Thumpa pitch 10005h data 0001 0000 invert image I have the list but not memorized...just some tidbits. The 9010 is handy for testing the sounds, just type in 10003 then the data 00 to turn all off, then 10003h and the data you want to activate the particular sound, note the SX(0-7) is the data bit coming from the 74174s John :-#)# At 09:12 PM 20/11/2002 +1100, Marc Alexander wrote:
I had the same problem, a bad cable on a Z80 pod, and a good cable from an 8080 pod, and the good 8080 cable would not work on the Z80 pod!
I ended up doing a tricky repair job on the original Z80 cable.
The both looked the same (wires, twisted pair, etc) though the 8080 cable had a more modern looking angled corner DIP40 head, and the Z80 had a square black blocky head.
I suspect that the DIP40 head has something in it, maybe pullup or pulldown resistors? I have no idea. I did do a continuity check on every wire from the IDC to DIP40 and both cables matched.... weird.
Anyway just some info, hope it helps :)

I have a good z80 pod with trashed 40 pin header and thought I'd swap a
the ribbon cable and header from a 6802 pod, but it fails self test, I tried the cable and header from a good 6502 pod, it also fails self test, I tried a cable from a good z80 pod, it passed self test! Why?
The manuals state that the 6502 and z80 should have the same part
number but they don't. The 6802 and 6502 do have the same part number taken from real pods, neither work with the z80 which has a different part number.
Does anyone have any idea what's in these headers?
Does anyone have a spare cable and header for a z80 or 8085 pod for
sale? A dead pod would do if the cable &header look good!
Thanks,
Steve
