Hi.
I'm repairing a couple of 68000 pods at present and it reminded me that I'd always wanted to dig deeper into this.
Does anyone have a 68000 pod running version 6 of the firmware? It's documented in rev 2 of the pod manual, and the code resides on larger 2764 EPROMs to implement the additional QT.
I've owned six 68k pods and I've never seen anything higher than rev 5.
You can get your pod version (on a 9010) by reading F0000012 (after taking the pod out of self-test of course). Output format is hex x0 where x is the major version. Not sure how to do this on a 9100 as it won't process addresses outside of what it knows as the 24bit address space, maybe TL/1.
Hmm, I’m not sure what you mean by taking the pod out of self-test. When I read that address, it selftests in a loop, and I get kicked back to the main prompt after stopping it. On my 9100, "READ SPECIAL" let me select 0xF000 0012. I haven’t opened it to verify, but assuming this is the correct procedure, it looks like I have a v6 pod: https://imgur.com/a/SADEo It has a manufacture date of January 1995. -- Ian _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
