RE: Fluke 90 Tester, Anyone?

Just for giggles I checked on the cable for the Z80 pod, and it was
available too. 48-72 hours shipping time, $57.80. I also checked on one
of the custom protection chips used on the z80 pod, but it wasn't available.
Guess we know where to go for the cables at least.

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...
