Does anyone have this manual that they could scan for sharing? This pod looks like a winner. I think with the tests it can perform it might make a good base for a universal pod. It has a RAM test that is run at system speed, ROM Checksum(!) test that can identify stuck bits in the ROM(!) and a few others that would be great to use according to the docs I just got on in describing it's tests. The 68000 (tests as a 68010 as well by the way) pod also does the same tests, perhaps that one is more common, but as it has a larger plug I thought it would be more unwieldy to make adapter cards.

It might be helpful to create a database of Fluke 9000 owners & the equipment that they own. I'll be willing to maintain the database (Excel format) and make it available to the list (either by posting to the FTP or e-mail). The idea is to allow users to find one another & to help answer such questions as Johns of what pod is the best to base a multi processor pod on. I can track as much info as people are willing to share Basically it would contain Name E-mail contact (we can keep this from being published if desired) Each piece of equipment & quantity Manuals if you desire to list them Think of it as a simple VAPS list for Fluke owners. I'll go first Kevin Klopp mowerman@erols.com 9010A w/232 port 9010A wo/232 port 9010A probe 9100FT w/ programmer option (mono), OS Ver 6.0 9000 Clock module 9100 probe 9100-003 & complete set of dip clips 9132-68HC11 9132-80186 9000-Z80 (2) 9000-6502 9000-6800 9000-6801 (adapter not a full blown pod) 9000-6802 9000-6809 9000-8051 9000-8080 9000-8085 9000-8088 (2) every manual I have is available online.... Thanks, Kev
OK, I'm more awake now...the 8051 would be a bit of a nightmare to make adapter cards for. However the 68000 would fill the bill very nicely. We'll cook up a couple in the next week or so, what adapters would people like? 6809? 6502? Z80? Any of these should be possible and the ability to run fast RAM and ROM tests might well be worth it! The bare cards in prototype runs will cost something like $40 - $50US each, you would need to populate it. A socket and a pin header should do the job. Let me price it out, but if can I get a response on who might be interested then I can tell if I am just building this for my shop or other folks...
