Well, I have the 9010A, and use the Z80, 6502, 6800, and 8080 pods in service. The main bitch I have with the unit is the signature that it generates for ROM memory is not the standard Checksum that most programmers use, so I have to create a new signature for each game rom. One at a time. Boring. I have not gotten around to using the RS232 port for iMporting and exporting test routines, but I find I normally just use the most basic functions on the unit to do RAM, ROM tests and this finds over 90% of the problems within a few minutes. Other problems are easier found with standard troubleshooting for whatever game it is. I have not got the time to learn the programming for this unit so I am not making any tests for I/O beyond doing a check to see if present. The clock would be useful, it turns the unit into a signature analyzer (but I already have three of these: Cat Box, Kurz Kash Sig II, and HP Signature Voltmeter). Anyone interested in trade for the KK unit? John :-#)# At 09:27 PM 5/3/2000 , ayeckley wrote:
Jeff Anderson & I have been trying to determine who all is using the Fluke 9100 system, and to what level of sophistication. Anyone actually using the Programmer Station option? Anyone using the I/O pods? Clock modules?
I'm at the larval stage on this system.
