You should be able to tell if you have the programming option by looking for the 9 pin D-type connection (like a serial port) on the back.
Nope, I don't have it, but for some reason I do have the two 25 pin COM ports - utterly useless!
PS - If anyone understands keyboard interfacing and might be able to figure out what makes the Fluke keyboard special (and hopefully make an adapter for normal keyboards), let me know. I have a Fluke keyboard, minus keys, that I can loan out if someone is serious about the project.
I ran across a blurb in the service manual than mentions it uses a 2400 (IIRC) baud serial interface. My plan *was* to use a COM port on a PC to emulate the keyboard (there was also a table listing the key mapping), but there is little point if it won't get me anywhere. Sigh, thanks for your help. Looks like its back to the 9010 for me :-( Alex http://www.elektronforge.com ayeckley@elektronforge.com To UNSUBSCRIBE from techtoolslist, send a message with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the message body to: techtoolslist-request@flippers.com.
