I had similar situations with several tron boardsets. Turned out the +5V was just low enough to handle the original Z80 but not quite the pod. Once I turned up the voltage a little bit it fired up just fine with the pod and I was able to debug. -Adam =============== www.onecircuit.com =============== On 1/22/07, Martin White <martin@guddler.co.uk> wrote:

Interesting because MCR boards will do pretty much the same thing as well, the Fluke just can't copy with them for some reason, if that's the way to put it. I've not found a resolution to that one yet but to be fair my selection of Fluke hardware to try is pretty limited!

This might be more of a Vectorlist question, but I thought I might try here.
Right now I'm using a 100% working Omega Race boardset to make sure I have the correct setup using the Fluke 9010a and Z80 Pod.
First of all, the boardset just won't run with the Z80 Pod. I can see that the Reset line is pulsing. It won't run if I disable the watchdog circuit either. *sometimes* I can get it to do a Quick Ram Test successfully. Other times I get data error messages and if I do a bus test it will report a bunch of data lines tied together. Of course, if I put a normal z80 processor back in the game works perfectly fine.
So, I'm just wondering if anyone out there knows how to properly setup an Omega Race boardset for troubleshooting with the Fluke 9010a and Z80 pod. This Pod should be working fine since I used it recently on a Pac-Man.
thanks
