Well, I am sure it could be done if someone wants to figure it out...the address and data lines and most of the control lines are known (at least to me ;-), but the ROM is specific to the CPU, but I suspect it might be a lookup table for that. Anyone want to take on the project? I'll gladly share the info I have, and the seller of the Series 90's (8085) has five left at $39US plus shipping if all five are bought. Fluke was less than helpful for parts or ANY information on the units. Seems that they are pretending it didn't exist-was Philips rude to them or something??? At 04:25 AM 8/9/00, Kev wrote:
Now if you could do 6809 or 6502 on the Series 90 unit.....
I was using the 9010 today and accidentally plugged a 6502 pod into a board that used a 6800 processor. Hmm, could read and write to RAM, and do a ROM checksum test, only when I tried to "RUNUUT" did I notice the error. No risk to the pod as the 6800 and 6502 share the same Vcc and Gnd lines, as well as Data and Address lines and some of the clock and I/O ports. R/w is the same for example...I think a 6502/6800/6802/8 multipod may not be so much trouble after all...anyone have lots of free time?
I was able to get the Series 90 8085 test fixture to become a Z80 unit, just tidying up the rather messy sketches before I show how it works. Have the code for that as well...
