[Techtoolslist] 9100A software

[Andrew Welburn]

Is there software on this 9100 that you have written and want to keep?

If so, just copy the relevant UUT's you want to keep and maybe the PROGLIB 
directories onto floppies and then install the new system software as per 
whats on my page :
http://www.andysarcade.net/personal/tech/fluke9100/index.htm
after you're done, just copy them back to the hdr from the floppy.

And yup, the old miniscribe drives with the exposed rotor arm can sometimes 
just be rotated to get them going again as they 'stick' in the stepper motor 
for some reason..

I've never had any serialised software problems, i think this is because 
with system software above version 5.0 they did away with serialisation 
altogether it seems? Make sure your main board eproms are also changed as 
this might also have something to do with the serialisation.
