Re: Troubleshooting a defective pod

Yeah I'd seen those pictures. I really lack time to repro those, would be nice though.

Still got all datalines stuck high when testing the bad Z80 pod, might have found something, U10 is getting really hot (see my other mail, sorry)

I happen to have a set up these - for tapes see the ftp site under /Fluke/9010a Tapes: Pod_Test (6502/6800/8080/8085/Z80 & 6802). Pictures of the test fixtures are named "9000pod.jpg". I haven't looked at these since 2002, as I haven't had any pods needing service (not going to lend them either) but I can take better pictures if anyone wants to duplicate them.
