Fluke 9100ft - Floppy Disk Issues
Hey List I have just purchased a Hxc Floppy emulator and successfully ran the cracked service disk from it to upgrade the memory. There just one problem.. When you go through the automated process on the disk it asks you for the the type of floppy. Now mine has a Canon in it and as it's a Ft I chose Canon HD. Thiswould appear to be the wrong choice as I can no longer boot the service disk nor can I copy files from DR1 to HD1. Has anyone else come across this and if so can you help me get things back on track? Thanks! _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
So , the service disk updates the Fluke Configuration to modify the floppy drive it has?

The service disk writes the machine configuration into an EEPROM on the motherboard. I think your options are to swap the floppy with the type you configured the machine to use, or to pull the EEPROM and program a corrected configuration onto it. I believe the service disk shows you the current configuration value on that and the HDD configuration. I always leave it to whatever it's set to.

Steve, I did the exact same thing to myself a couple weeks ago. I was also in the process of installing a SCSI2SD adapter at the time so I formatted an SD card in another 9100 that I had and copied just the Service disk to the SD card. I then installed the SD card in the machine I set incorrectly and it booted to the Service disk from the SD card which allowed me to change the floppy setting. If you don't have an SD card, I'm sure you could do the same with a spare SCSI drive. From my tests with the HxC, I found that that the Sony and Teac settings seem to work fine. (I don't remember about the Mitsumi but I think that worked too.) I could not get either of the Canon's to work. I was planning on putting together some information and seeing if I could get some help from the HxC forum since the Canon seems to be the drive in most of the non-FT 9100's.

Thank you Chris this worked a treat! My process was to convert the cracked service disk from .imd to .raw using samdisk and the rename the .raw to .img. I then used win32 disk imager to write the image to an SD and swapped out the main 6.1 SD with this! Thanks again!

That's good to know. I wonder if you can set up the SCSI2SD so you can choose a partition to boot from. That would let you boot the service disk any time, or other versions of the OS.

I have presented the SD card at the side of my 9100ft so I just imaged a spare SD with the service disk for when I need it. Thanks for all you work on the software imaging Ian it's really handy.

Ah, that's handy. I have mine mounted inside, because I don't like modifying the case. I'm very glad folks are finding the disk images and cracked service disk useful.

Thiswould appear to be the wrong choice as I can no longer boot the service disk nor can I copy files from DR1 to HD1.
Has anyone else come across this and if so can you help me get things back on track?

So... What do i need to do to prevent BRICKING my Fluke 9110FT when i try to set the ram options up ?
William Stillwell One suggestion would be to socket the serial RAM and archive it. That device has the machines serial number and all the settings of course.

Thanks for all you work on the software imaging Ian it's really handy. I transferred my missing pod libraries from the images you have made.

Thank you Chris this worked a treat!My process was to convert the cracked service disk from .imd to .raw using samdisk and the rename the .raw to .img. I then used win32 disk imager to write the image to an SD and swapped out the main 6.1 SD with this! Thanks again!

Hey List I have just purchased a Hxc Floppy emulator and successfully ran the cracked service disk from it to upgrade the memory. There just one problem.. When you go through the automated process on the disk it asks you for the the type of floppy. Now mine has a Canon in it and as it's a Ft I chose Canon HD. Thiswould appear to be the wrong choice as I can no longer boot the service disk nor can I copy files from DR1 to HD1.
Has anyone else come across this and if so can you help me get things back on track?

It should tell you what options that are already set, so choose these. Teac floppy worked for me with my hxc replacement drive. There are options for Canon HD and Sony HD, don't select these. If you have an sd card hard drive you can easily recover it by imaging an sd card with the service disk.

I also thought that the service disk writes to eeprom at each option so maybe you could try resetting once RAM option is selected as it pops up before disk option. On Sat, 19 Aug 2017 at 17:24, Steve Larkins <steve@ukaudiovisual.co.uk> wrote:
