I have a Z80 pod for my 9010A which works fine on various boards and passes its self-test okay, yet if I plug it into an original Universal Cosmic Alien board I get a 'Pod Timeout' error when attempting to perform any Fluke operation.
The Cosmic Alien is in itself faulty (hence the reason I'm trying the Fluke on it) - the thing is, what could be causing the timeout error?
Is the clock signal or one of the other status lines held in an odd state? I had the same problem with a Space Invaders PCB (not Z80) and what I did was to remove all the warning settings which then made it run, then put them back one by one until I found the culprit. Phil.
