[Techtoolslist] Fluke keyboards question

[Barry Shilmover]

Update:

Thanks to Chris sending me pictures, I was able to figure it out.  I
thought the PCB on the 9100 and the 1020 were the same.  Well, technically,
they are identical, same part number (mine is rev 2, the image I have is
rev3), etc.  However!!  I noticed that there is space for a chip that is
not populated (labeled ‘ST1-ST8’).  its not for a chip, its a set of
possible jumpers.

The 9100 pcb has a jumper in the first position.  Mine (1020) has no
jumpers.  Adding a jumper on mine and they keyboard works on the 9100!  So
it looks like this PCB can support different keyboard Matrix(es) with just
different jumpers.

9100 PCB:

1020 PCB (solder is from my test):

Here is what the back of the PCB looks like with the jumpers going to the
eprom:

Still need a keyboard as the keys are all wrong, but its good progress.

All,

I have a couple of Fluke products made for warehouse/assembly (namely the
Fluke 1020 and 1050).  They are both touch screens with a keyboard.  One is
monochrome, the other color.  Anyway, I picked up the 1020 because it had
the keyboard and wanted to see if I could use it with the 9100 (and the
monitor is nearly identical inside too).

Anyway, the keyboard looks like the original 9100A keyboard from Oak, but
the keys are a bit different (see picture).  The cable was ruined, so I
swapped that.  The 9100 recognizes that there is a keyboard attached and
goes into programmer’s mode, but the keyboard does nothing except for
beeping when keys are pressed (LEDs on the keyboard flash when fluke starts
and work when pressed).

Since I had it open, I pulled the EPROM and read it, figuring I could take
the ROM from the similar 9100A keyboard and make it mostly work.  The PCB
in the keyboard appears identical, its the strange cpu with the piggybacked
eprom.  When I compare the ROM file on TTL ftp site and the one I read off
my keyboard, they are identical.  Which surprised me.  All I can think of
is that some of the other chips on the pcb are different.

Anyone have one of the Oak fluke keyboards that can send me high resolution
images of the PCB and chips on the board?

Thanks,

Barry
