Well, I wrote some very small scripts that might be handy if you want to modify them. One is a script that allows you send data to the Atari POKEYs based on the CAT box procedures. It toggles the different channels on and off alot easier, but I just get white noise and not actual "tones" like I'd expect. I'm not much of a programmer but maybe it can be useful. http://games.rossiters.com/manuals/Pokey-Data-Blaster While we are on the subject of writing stuff, I haven't been able to find anywhere procedures for doing signature analysis on Star Wars, so I wired up a 6809E nop fixture and documented signatures myself. What I'd love to do is figure out a procedure for doing signature analysis on the Mathbox portion. I'm wondering if this can easily be done by grounding the diag test point and setting the dipswitches a certain way? Just wondering if someone has already done this? Anyway, I can do a separate thread about that some time. I too would be interested in some new fluke scripts. Matt On Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:02:31 -0700, John Robertson <jrr@flippers.com> wrote:
The hope is folks would like to talk about their scripts - post snippets of special interest - and revive some interest in this tool. With the current economic times I see that repairs will be a larger portion of peoples interest and that how quickly we can fix older 8 or 16 bit equipment (think industrial controls) can help all of us cruise through the next couple of years...
I am thinking of snippets of scripts for testing PIAs and, being a bit on the lazy side, I'm hoping someone has made a script for a PIA that is irritating me right now: the 6532. This rascal has RAM/I-O/TIMER all in one. RAM is trivial as is the I/O (more or less), but the timer...grump...I just don't have enough time to make a test without too much scratching my head (lose too much hair this way).
So the question is, are people interested in sharing on TTL? I will save the snippets to the FTP site.
