Re: Fluke 9100A V6.1

Regarding the monitor all the info you should need is in the schematic which can be found in the service manual - which in turn is on the Flippers FTP.

 

The B/W signal is problematic since the B/W circuitry on the graphics card requires a 5V signal that it get’s from the monitor through the monitor cable. I guess you could supply one independently?

 

The colour signal is, as Andy says just standard arcade monitor compatible so just do what you would do for a normal arcade to SCART conversion if that’s the way you want to go. The signal is changed between B/W and Colour by a series of slightly strange DIP jumpers on the graphics card IIRC.


 

I’ve had the 9100 hooked up to a 1084S and that was fine. I did try a 10” MTC9000 since I had one on the bench but the dot pitch was just too small to comfortably see what was going on. In the end I settled for a brand new Hantarex Polo 14” monitor that I had. A bit of a waste really, especially when so many people were trying to prise the polo out of me for use in their games but I figured I wasn’t ever going to sell it so I may as well use it for the Fluke. Better than it sitting in the loft gathering dust!

 

Martin.

Thanks guys, problem is those tools don't work with USB drives mostly....I dug out my old PC and this has a built in floppy drive unit so we should be good to go.......when I find back my old LCD screen.....#^%{##^

Could even hook it to my TV but I'd still need a VGA cable. Going iMac is nice but There are some drawbacks....

Has anyone some info about the Video connector ? I guess it's monochrome and I did find the pin out and Andrew told me it should work with a regular arcade monitor. Do we know what levels of video and sync is put out ? I am planning on hook it to a small CRT TV with SCART input...this should work. Might just hook it to the Green input only to get that nice retro look :)

The voltages for SCART are low (upto 1V) compared to TTL levels usually used at arcade monitors.

Also, I need to get the 6502 and Z80 pods running, they seem to be inoperative now. The 6502 processor is getting pretty hot, not sure if that is any good. I loved the suggestion in the manual to use a second 6502 pod to examine the first but I only have one......

One more thing I got two more probes with the system, but those have a smaller connector , think it's RS-232 sized, Am I correct that these are for the 9010 ? If so, if anyone is interested in them let me know.....

I tied this utility back in April when my 9100 hard drive took a dirt nap and the software did work on XP. Unfortunately, the v6.0 TD0 disk images were bad and I never successfully installed from disks created using SAMdisk.
