Digi-Key.com provides cables that can replace the original Fluke. Order the 40 pin DIP #C2PXG-4018G-NC, which is a 40 pin DIP-grey cable-18 inches long with an unfinished end, then get the 40 pin header #AKN40A-ND and put it on (I use a vise to squeeze the connector onto the cable). Total cost in Canadian ~ $12 plus shipping. US$ is about $8...Fluke wants $300US! John :-#)# At 08:41 AM 10/26/01, you wrote:
Hi all ...
Well since my 9100A died I managed to get a 9010, alas I am doomed to be the keeper of lots of dead fluke hardware as the 9010 is completely dead!
The PSU tests out OK, but I've not looked at anything else. Also I noticed it does not have the RS232 option ... if I get it working has anyone got one of these for sale?
Now onto the pods ... the 6802 and 8085 pods were both shipped without the cable in the self test socket. Guess what both have a pin broken off :o(
Has anyone ever replaced these ribbons/headers with a home made effort?
PS I have not forgotten about those who wanted the 9100 software but I cannot currently copy it. It's being sent onto someone who can for distribution.
