The cable for the Fluke pods is nothing special. You can use a plain ribbon cable with a 40 pin plug on one end, and a 40 pin socket style plug on the other (don't know the name). The twisted pairs is very nice but if the cable is kept short it should be fine. I have this on a Z80 pod and it works fine, no glitches...<br>

If you see any others on ebay I'd snag it because they're great for doing<br>
quick tests on. I really like the quick trace feature. When you probe<br>
each pin of a ram chip, for example, the display will actually read A01,<br>
A02 or D01, D02, etc. It also has a feature called memory soak which<br>
tests to see how well ram can hold it's data for long periods of time -<br>
something the Fluke 9010a doesn't have.<br>
<br>
I also like the fact that it's really light and portable. <br>

By the way, that's really cool that you were able to find a part for your<br>
6809 pod. I wish I had known they stocked parts for these because I<br>
needed a ribbon cable for a Z80 pod I have since sold. I got another one<br>
though.<br>
