<EXEC> <YES> generally gets you going. I was thinking that it would be nice to have a text file (I was thinking Word Doc or PDF) that you could print out, 1 page that would tell you some basics to go along with the program. But then again I've been trying to champion the idea of a uniform "bare bones" program that everyone could use as sort of a standard. Press 1 for RAM Press 2 for ROM ..... Press 9 for RUN UUT etc... but if we can get anywhere on the 9100s I may just forget the 9010 (unless someone can dig up the cross compiler!). I thought my 232 cable was simpler, 4 wires but I cann't find my notes on that now. John, do we have a list archive? Would be handy (or just add a file to the FTP with this info as you compile it Marc). Third thought. Has anyone tried to tie pins 2 & 3 of the 232 plug together to make the 9010A "fault tolerant". I want to put a switch on my cable to do that, load the program, flip the switch & run the program. Or is there anyway to have the PC monitor output from the 9010A serially & send <CONT> on failures?

I think the pinouts I saw archived below, though they may work?, could
cause
damage to the 9010A or com port on the PC, as the handshake lines are wired as two outputs shorted together. Measuring the unconnected pins on both units showed that 4-RTS and 20-DTR were live outputs out of the 9010A, so connecting them to outputs on the PC may cause some problems.
I just got mine working with this pinout:
DB9 Female to PC DB25 Female to 9010A 1 CD input 2 RX input ------------2 TX output 3 TX output------------3 RX input 4 DTR output--------------------\ 5 GND-------------------7 GND | 6 DSR input --------------------/ 7 RTS output----\ 8 CTS input ----/ 9 RI input 4 RTS output 20 DTR input
and it works at 2400,N,8,1 at least, obviously no hardware handshaking may limit the transfer speed, I will try higher. I just used the old Windows 3.11 Terminal program and sent the galaga.h file successfully.
Now the big question! What do I press to run the script/tests? I'm trowelling through PDF files but won't have time to read it all for a couple of days, and haven't found the right pages yet, arrghh :) I understand the script, just not how to run it all, and what to do with each test and failures, etc. Ahh, I just worked out some of it, EXEC, ENTER/YES, etc.. Any tips and steps anyone has would be great, examples of a board test and repair from turn-on to finish, anything.. I will put it into a 'Getting Started' doc, c'mon guys! :-)
Thanks,
Marc

Okay I finally got my Fluke 9010A talking to the PC.
Cable is
DB9 <-> DB25
2 2 3 3 4 20 5 7 7 4
For some reason I can only get
7, E, 1, 9600 (or slower to work)
I can not get 8, N, 1 to work properly?
