[Techtoolslist] Updates to Fluke 9100 pdfs directory

[John Robertson]

Along with the Fluke/PDFs/9100_fixture documents I have a copy of the 
instructions (PN885231 rv2) for the 9100A 40 mb Hard Disk Upgrade kit 
PN878801  (for Ver 6.0) - this document is still useful in that it talks 
to ROMs on the 9100A and versions required...it might be that Ver 6.0 
requires a ROM upgrade as well.

FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org

>> Just found today (Saturday, Nov 3, 2012) a few updated sets of training manuals for both the 9100A and 9110FT - which appear to be factory proof sets - printed single side (originals) with Post-it notes saying "MASTER" and internal Fluke documents talking about making production copies...see the first page on a couple of the 1994 files. These came with a recent 9100 purchase that I had set aside without looking over fully. Must power up the 9100 base and see what software is installed!

>> The latest documents were from 11/1994, there is also a 10/1993 set too. I think the difference depends on the version of software or just improvements to the documents over time.

>>

>> Note that the 1994 FT manuals specify that Rev. 6.1 software is loaded on the machine. Note also that the Fluke copy sheet notes at the front of the 1994 FT Vol 2 manual say "DO NOT USE Equipmt (sic) never updated to match manual - use old text". So, raises the question about if the last revision I've loaded is able to be used or if the FT series never implemented all the features (new?) covered in the 1994 Part 2.

>>

>> I've also renamed the files and added the Fluke part numbers when they existed on the files.

>>

>> Interestingly, one file was misnamed - it actually is the installation instructions for Ver 6.0 software - It turns out there were four versions of 6.0 software update packs, depending on if you have 3.0 or higher, or 5.0 and if your machine has the programmer option or not. Interesting notes on bugs cured and remaining for those who are writing programs for the 9100A/FT.

>>

>> I suspect 6.1 was the last version and may have only been intended for the FT series - if anyone has a 9100A running 6.1 please let us know.

>>

>> Also some TEAC notes on emulating a 720 drive.

>>

>> All now found in the TTL  /Fluke/PDFs/9100_fixture directory.
