with my 9010A. Is it worth finding a probe? Most of what I am looking at, I can
observe with my scope just fine. (Sometimes it's hard for me to see a very quick
pulse, like a R/!W line)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

  at this fresh this morning and found the problem was a short between A7 and
  (inverse)A9! This would not show up as a BUSS fault...<BR><BR>So when you get
  a floating Address line, look for shorts between it and something else. My
  logic probe did not identify this as a short as well....only when I had the
  probe Synched to Address or Data could I identify the problem - so another
  argument for finding a probe for your 9010A!<BR><BR>John :-#)#<BR><BR><BR>
  <BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite">Updated slightly as per some
    questions raised in email...<BR><BR>I was tinkering around with a sick Bally
    MPU board today (a rewired -17 monster for Grand Products 301), and was
    trying to figure out why the 6810 was not being selected...So I set the

    WRITE @ 0000 = 55 <I><U>(LOOPING)</U></I>, and then tried checking with the
    <I><U>9010A's</U></I> probe for results. Curiously enough, the
    <I><U>Synched</U></I> probe showed nothing at all for A7 - Tri-State as far
    as it was concerned. I though maybe the 6800 pod was defective and pulled
    out another one, same result. A regular logic probe shows everything active.
