Kev has raised a good point about the lack of 9100 orientated info around.. plenty of 9010, but as any good 9100 owner would know, the rom signatures do differ..
I have a stack of sigs taken from a whole host of pcbs, all on some rather battle-worn notepads that i do need to type up and put in a printable/readable format...
I seem to remember John saying somethign about a fluke resource on his site, but the exact details escape me this minute..
ftp://ftp.flippers.com There is no list there yet. I do have some 9010A signatures that I've posted to the newslist before & had 2 other members respond & send in a few more, with such paultry response I didn't pursue posting them. 9100 responses probably will be even lower in relationship to the number of these. Most of the 9100 manuals that I know of are posted on the ftp site (if you have any not posted please let us know). 9100 software is the next focus, still trying to find a working copy of the 9100 Autolearn program and cross compiler. And then I hope to start writing some useful scripts.
i need reminding.. where are they, how can i add to them, and would there be a html version instead of just a directory style listing?
I used either word 95/97 or Excel 95/97 documents. Text files would be better (or html). One question that I posted a few weeks ago is what method do 9100 owners use to collect signatures? My firmware defaults to a step 2 method that I reset to step 1 when I collect my signatures. Thanks, Kev
Hi all, thought I'd have ago at trying the learn function on a working Taito S.I. part II board set. After waiting (4 hrs!!) to complete, I go to view the ram and it comes back 'no ram info' all the Rom, I/O info is there, just no ram. What am I doing wrong?

Kev, Being a fellow 9100 user, I'm interested in solving the signature problem too. I'm new to the TechTools list and I may be covering stuff you guys have been over before and be stating the blindingly obvious, but here goes... If the 9100 does in fact use a CRC algorithm, then there are only so many polynomials that are useful. As a start, trying out CRC-12, CRC-16 and CRC-CCITT that are all 16-bit orientated polynomials might yeild a match with what the 9100 generates. As far as I know, the pods themselves do the signatures in the 9010 configuration. Here, one would think a disassembly of the pod ROM would yield what we need or failing that a simple driver in MAME that runs the pod code would do the trick? Regards, Paul. Kev wrote:

The pod does not do the Signatures, all the pods do is READ and WRITE (in both cases only a single BYTE at a time) and monitor status lines. Nothing else. The base deals with the data once it is read or written to the pod... John :-#)# At 04:13 PM 31/05/2002 -0700, Paul Swan wrote:
