Fluke 9100s - Who has what?
Jeff Anderson & I have been trying to determine who all is using the Fluke 9100 system, and to what level of sophistication. Anyone actually using the Programmer Station option? Anyone using the I/O pods? Clock modules? I'm at the larval stage on this system.

Well, I have the 9010A, and use the Z80, 6502, 6800, and 8080 pods in service. The main bitch I have with the unit is the signature that it generates for ROM memory is not the standard Checksum that most programmers use, so I have to create a new signature for each game rom. One at a time. Boring. I have not gotten around to using the RS232 port for iMporting and exporting test routines, but I find I normally just use the most basic functions on the unit to do RAM, ROM tests and this finds over 90% of the problems within a few minutes. Other problems are easier found with standard troubleshooting for whatever game it is. I have not got the time to learn the programming for this unit so I am not making any tests for I/O beyond doing a check to see if present. The clock would be useful, it turns the unit into a signature analyzer (but I already have three of these: Cat Box, Kurz Kash Sig II, and HP Signature Voltmeter). Anyone interested in trade for the KK unit? John :-#)# At 09:27 PM 5/3/2000 , ayeckley wrote:

Do any of you have the ROM images for the 9010A, it seems it would be trivial to change the CSUM routine into a standard one. If anyone has them and will forward them to me I would be happy to look into changing them. jess John Robertson wrote:

Hi Jess! Am sending you a copy of the ROM images (separate email) Thanks! I am sure a few folks will like this mod... John :-#)# At 09:58 AM 5/4/2000 , Jess Askey wrote:

I have one, but haven't had the time to do any more than boot it up to see that it's OK.... --- Cris -- Cristopher J.

I was playing with Promlink 3.1 for the Data I/O on my Windows 95 system, and noticed that it talks about the "User Functions" and refers users to the PROMLINK manual for same. Anyone have a copy of this? Covers some of the setup option for the programmer to expand it capabilities (slices bread, creates water, transmogrifies lead into gold?)
