I just found a work around for this: Find an XT keyboard (an AT/XT will work), next when you press the EDIT key on the 9100 plug the keyboard in a fraction of a second AFTER you press the EDIT key. Have your old colour monitor plugged in and the EDIT window APPEARS!!! Whoppie! Thus it appears that the Fluke uses a boring old XT keyboard with the ACTIVE RESET wire that was dropped in the later keyboards wiring cable. I am next going to attempt to run the wire from the 9100 directly to the RESET line of the 8048 in my old keyboard and see if that works... John :-#)#
So, now the screen is up on the colour monitor and nothing happens ;-(. It seems my keyboard is not 'quite' right. I will search for an XT keyboard and get back to the list. Free time? It's our national holiday today so I thought I'd tackle a couple of irritations... John :-#)# At 11:45 AM 01/07/2002 -0700, John Robertson wrote:

http://www.beyondlogic.org/keyboard/keybrd.htm#1 Look at the AT to ASCII keyboard adapter. If you had a blank 68HC705J1A MCU, you could probably have it running in 2 hours. (So I take you you defeated the Reset code?)
