Hey, Matt!<br>
<br>
Did you copy the software from that unit? I strongly suspect that the sub-board in the 8085 can be reworked to do the Z80 and with a software change in the unit a HANDY unit would arise. Fluke seems to know nothing about these devices...no service manual or parts manual...What I am hoping that you might be able to do is open the box, and either photo the Z80 sub-board adapter (the flat ribbon cable plugs into it) and store the eprom and note the revisions on the PAL(?).<br>

I bought one of these a while back.&nbsp; I'm surprised the guy didn't mention<br>
what processor this is for.&nbsp; The one I got was for a Z80.&nbsp; I'm guessing<br>
this one was too.<br>
<br>
If you see any others on ebay I'd snag it because they're great for doing<br>
quick tests on.&nbsp; I really like the quick trace feature.&nbsp; When you probe<br>
each pin of a ram chip, for example, the display will actually read A01,<br>
A02 or D01, D02, etc.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; <br>
<br>
<br>
By the way, that's really cool that you were able to find a part for your<br>
6809 pod.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; I got another one<br>
though.<br>
