Hey, Matt!

Did you copy the software from that unit? I strongly suspect that the sub-board in the 8085 can be reworked to do the Z80 and with a software change in the unit a HANDY unit would arise. Fluke seems to know nothing about these devices...no service manual or parts manual...What I am hoping that you might be able to do is open the box, and either photo the Z80 sub-board adapter (the flat ribbon cable plugs into it) and store the eprom and note the revisions on the PAL(?).

Subject: Re: Fluke 90 Tester, Anyone?

I bought one of these a while back. I'm surprised the guy didn't mention
what processor this is for. The one I got was for a Z80. I'm guessing
this one was too.

If you see any others on ebay I'd snag it because they're great for doing
quick tests on. I really like the quick trace feature. When you probe
each pin of a ram chip, for example, the display will actually read A01,
A02 or D01, D02, etc. It also has a feature called memory soak which
tests to see how well ram can hold it's data for long periods of time -
something the Fluke 9010a doesn't have.

I also like the fact that it's really light and portable.

By the way, that's really cool that you were able to find a part for your
6809 pod. I wish I had known they stocked parts for these because I
needed a ribbon cable for a Z80 pod I have since sold. I got another one
though.
