[Techtoolslist] Fluke 9010a Tape Drive

[Matt Rossiter]

Hello Everyone, I'm trying to fix my Fluke 9010a tape drive which was
working at one point and now is having problems. I'm not having much luck
getting it going again and I'm starting to suspect that I might be having
an issue with the UPI-41A (Universal Periferal Interface) chip.
http://games.rossiters.com/manuals/fluke/Intel-8041A.pdf [1] I know where I
can get some of these chips, the problem is they are programmable so I
would need someone's help copying the data off a known working Fluke 9010a
Tape drive and then have them programmed for me. Does anyone have a
programmer that can read/program 8041a/8741a chips? I know the Xeltek
SuperPro 3000u can do them. My second option is to find someone who is
parting out a Fluke 9010a and get the tape drive from them. I have a bunch
of tapes with programs on them I'd like to archive. Is anyone parting out a
Fluke 9010a at this time? :) Matt PS - it would be nice to get the ROM off
the Fluke 9010a tape drive for preservation
purposes!
