Even with a wrist strap I can picture some damage occurring. Wood would be strongly preferable in IMHO. Even better would be an ESD laminate top, which are available from places like www.mcmaster.com. That's kinda/sorta what we use.

I run windows XP, file system is FAT32, dunno if that makes any difference? but.... here's the thing... The only way it works for me is if i switch the programmer on, wait for it to finish its self test... it'll say 'remote mode' then i have 30 seconds to load up the promlink software, and perform an action, any action that has to talk to the programmer, like 'process' or 'fill ram from master'. It seems that if i don't do that, the programmer times out and the com port gets 'stuck' and i have to reboot, there's no way of clearing it. Also power cycling the 29b just goes through the self-test then instead of going to remote mode reports somethgin like 'i/o error 33' which can be cleared by disconnecting the serial cable and power cycling, then re-attatching the serial cable, but it'll crash again with the i/o error if you havn't rebooted the pc :-) Thing is, the action i have to do doesn't need to do anything, and you don't need to actually perform it, it just has to send something to the programmer to tell it which socket to use, once its done that, it never times out and i never have any problems with it. Also, never switch the 29b on with a blank PROM in any of the sockets, it will bugger them up. Am i the only one that has to work with it like that? I don't mind really, its been rock solid for the 8 years I've owned it, this particular pc/OS configuration hasn't changed for at least 5 years i'd say... it works perfectly otherwise.

I've looked through a lot of the manuals, and i still can't find any reference to setting this up in a UUT program with a command of some kind... Has anyone else worked round this? or am i just being picky? i know TLl/1 has its share of bugs and quirks, but this one i'd like to sort out. Also, i've built programs for each UUT in each its own UUT directory, ideally i'd like to boot the 9100 into a frontend that will allow me to immediately load up a uut program from a menu, or to dump me to the user terminal, but i can't find a way to 'execute' a UUT program that isn't in the same directory as the calling program, i tried /hdr/UUTNAME/program_name but it doesn't like that either.. any pointers?

Well, after running into this on more than one occasion, i decided to do something about it, you know when you have soldered-in roms on a game pcb and you don't have any 'good' signatures for that rom in particular? Don't want to have to desolder the rom? Don't have a reader capable of reading that funky rom? Still want to check the roms contents with a known good dump? I'm working on an Atari Sprint 2 pcb right now with just such a problem, after building an adapter to replace the 2k*8 PROM soldered-in with a 2716, i could then verify that i did have a bad prom there, and subsequently managed to verify all other roms by burning a bunch of 2716's with mame code and verifying sigs taken from the real roms in place against the known good 2716... However, while doing this, i pestered a few peopel into trying to crack the fluke 9100 signature calculation routine so that i could run it on mame roms and verify on the fluke itself. This is no easy task and i've been asking around for this for a while now... so i gave up, and thought to myself it would be great if i could calculate a reliable signature on the 9100 that is easily calculated on the pc on mame roms... Well then CRC32 is an answer to this, MAME carries CRC32's of all the roms it uses in all its game drivers, an excellent source of known-good sigs! With the help of Chris Hardy - who found this small CRC calculator code online - it looked like it could be converted for TL/1 use: http://www.di-mgt.com.au/crypto.html#CRC My C programming skills are very rusty, and it saved me a lot of time talking to Chris to just check on the meanings of the C statements in this CRC calculator code... Once Chris explained some of it to me in English, it helped me to translate it to what i know of TL/1... and here's the result of equivalent code : http://www.andysarcade.net/pix/DSC_2380.JPG (full program code omitted, but if you know TL/1 you know the meat and potatoes is in the middle bit - so long as you declare numeric crc=$FFFFFFFF, numeric temp, numeric j, numeric octets at the top) I'm no rocket-scientist, but i stuck this in my PROGLIB and it'll now be available to all my other UUT programs :) Its not tidy code, its not the quickest or most efficient, but it works... If you can suggest a better way of doing it, then please do expand on this if you can! I'm interested to hear who is actually actively programming on the 9100, is it just me all on my own?? I know a few people who own the 9100 units, but i'm the only one amongst them that seems to be using the editing suite... Whats the situation with you lot here on the list? A show of hands would be nice to see... Maybe we can pool resources and swap code snippets? I have hundreds of rom sigs and a growing collection of programs i have written, I understand anyones reluctance to give this info up for free (i have certainly put in a considerable amount of time on the fluke) so i'm looking to trade info with other people if anyone needs it? Personally i'm not after much info myself, but i'm always keen to add to my own knowledge base, and i don't mind helping others out with programming, and advice on the pitfalls of bugs in TL/1 etc.. :-) Of course, I could be delusional and I really am the only one doing any programming with it... so speak up!

The ironic thing is that it's a bit like the 9010's. Most of the people that end up chasing after them in the UK are after them simply because they've heard it's some magic PCB fixing tool and when it boils down to it, really don't have a clue how to use one when they've actually got the damn thing!! It's a real shame too since all my gear is packed away at the moment so I would have plenty of time to be tinkering about with one. If anyone knows of a sensibly priced 9100 setup going begging in the UK then I'd be very interested in a deal on one. On the CRC32 checking itself Andy, are 9100 sigs different to 9010 sigs? On the 9010 I would have used FIDE to generate sigs from the mame roms and read them that way in situ. I'm assuming the 9100 sigs must be different though? I might have a better read up on the 9100 later. Being a programmer I do find it pretty interesting :o) Martin.

The 9100 is a different beast compared to the 9010... If you're a programmer, the 9100 is a very cool thing to play with, once you get past the old, slowness of a proprietory development system :) I have heard people buying 9100's, but i hear they are more often than not just the base unit, it took me several years to get hold of a video card, i/o module and ic/rom clips, i already had probe, clock module, and managed to get the video output working on a regular arcade monitor.. the programmers keyboard took the longest, and was quite expensive, but ultimately totally worthwhile. Yes i've had to work with a hard disk failure/crash and worked out a tonne of stuff in the process of rebuilding it and upgrading it, but all worthwhile. Once you see what the thing can do, you feel compelled (well i do anyway) to write stuff for it. Admittedly, you would need to spend an inordinate amount of time programming on it to completely cover all aspects of a single example game pcb, but once you have, identifying a faulty node would take a matter of just minutes, which makes the development on it very appealing... I actually recently pimped my 9100, i replaced the 20meg (ex-mac) scsi drive with a 100meg quantum fireball scsi drive (more reliable i hope!) and removed the noisey fan and put in an almost silent PC case fan, had to remove the crossmembers of the case as the the airflow was still too restricted... but now, the 9100 sits switched on for long periods, works like a top, and isn't noisey anymore!

Here is one link for a product to > replace SCSI drives: > > http://www.adtron.com/products/Sdds.html I have worked with a couple SCSI->flash projects for the 9100. Some are successful, others not so much. The SCSI interfaced flash HD's seem to work fine (under approx 700MB, above and you get the overflow issue in the editor). I have a couple running in 9100's now and they work perfectly, and no moving parts. I've not been as successful with using the SCSI PCMCIA adaptors that allow for AT flash cards as a SCSI device. I believe its do to the sector sizes being different, but I've not had a chance to followup on it. I believe that another project that I have going (updating our kernel to OS-9 2.3) might help that, as its FS drivers allow for a larger range of sector sizes. I have a SCSI bus analyzer that has helped debug the SCSI driver but I lost interest in that project, it could be dug back out again if there were others interested. > Then we need someone to design a video card to replace the original so > the machines can be useful...and what DID happen to the keyboard hack > anyways? David? Corey? I never worked on the keyboard hack, but I'd be happy to pick it back up. I have a ton of 9100 parts that eventually I need to do something with. Consoles, cards, parts, -003 modules, etc.
