RE: Fluke T-shooters

I think the 9010 uses a Z80, but I am not sure what you are asking. The
9010 has its own internal language, something one step above assembly.
According to the manuals, there are routines to send and receive files via
the serial port, but I am trying to find some way to emulate keyboard
commands via the serial port without having to resort to downloading an
entire program to the Fluke. Using something like LabWindows/CVI you could
set up a GUI front end on the pc to command the 9010 (Theoretically) and,
taken to the next step, use the pc to send/receive series of commands and
results, all in theory of course.

ps, Kev, check out my Tech page, there is a model of a replacement
roller-controller for the dedicated Major Havoc, should have the first
prototype in a week or so. Got tired of looking for one, so I decided to
just build one :)

What CPU is inside the 9010 to run the computer?
