[Techtoolslist] Fluke 8088 pod and a moron...

[Greg Baumgratz]

Do you know if they are the some from pod to pod so that I can at least 
verify my pod still works?  I have a couple Z80 and an 8086 pod that I 
can pull from to verify but I haven't had a chance to pin out the cables 
yet.  Still not talking to myself over the reversed connector issue...
