[Techtoolslist] Fluke 9000 Pod (Z80) UUT ribbon cable

[Greg Baumgratz]

Happy New Year to all!

There's not much in my TTL archive about this, and varying 
opinions/options upon web searches but I wanted to see what the current 
thought are on this topic?  I have a Z80 pod that works depending on how 
you position the pod/cable.  If it's working you can twist the cable 
slightly at the pod and it will stop working. I have pulled it apart and 
did notice that the upper level ground foil did split and I bridged this 
will wire/solder.  Still seems to be doing failing.  The 40 pin dip side 
seems fine - any options?  Has anyone re-terminated the pod side?  Any 
replacements available?  I see some pages reference just using a 40 pin 
flat cable - has anyone tried this and if so what are your experiences?

Thanks,
Greg
