Not all 6800 pods are dual pods - the early ones were dedicated to the 
6800 and need to have a fair bit of modification done. Here is a link to 
someone that has done that, however I have not done this so have not 
verified the results with my Fluke factory 6502 pod test fixture.

I'm going to check that out in January and will report to the list.
