Replace it. If you Google "Fluke 585992" it shows up as available at
Lintech Components, but they make you request a quote to get the price.
God I hate that!
Yeah I'd seen those pictures. I really lack time to repro those, would be
nice though.

Still got all datalines stuck high when testing the bad Z80 pod, might have
found something, U10 is getting really hot (see my other mail, sorry)

tool...........

the ribbon cable of the good pod to the bad pod....

to make sure they were up to spec. These included tapes for the testing
process. I happen to have a set up these - for tapes see the ftp site under
/Fluke/9010a Tapes: Pod_Test (6502/6800/8080/8085/Z80 & 6802). Pictures of
the test fixtures are named "9000pod.jpg". I haven't looked at these since
2002, as I haven't had any pods needing service (not going to lend them
either) but I can take better pictures if anyone wants to duplicate them.
