With all that in mind, I'm hoping to hell that this item I just won on eBay is the '9010a - Option 006 Signature Analyser' that I've seem mentioned in only one place on the net. The numbers of wires hanging off it seem to look about right. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&item=1726964195 Can anyone else give me any more information? One of my (very few, but quite long timescale) projects is to create a small standalone signature analysis PCB, similar to the Atari Cat Box design. I reckon I can do this with a small handful of IC's and get it inside a fag packet. It should be possible to do both Atari and Fluke polynomials at the same time, if the Fluke one is simple. With luck I'll get round to doing it this summer! Cheers, Phillip Eaton ---- Original message ----

Hi Phillip,

I just tried your emulator on a bunch of Asteroid files and compared them with the signatures on the 9010 and I do not get the same results... Does it not setup the same Signature that HP designed and thus should it not give the same results for any file as the Fluke would do on a ROM signature test? The signatures generated by your emulator are consistent - identical files give identical signatures...

Might I ask what the "Bit number <0 - 7>" refers to in the emulator?
