RE: WTBorrow: Fluke 6809 pod

<x-flowed>
The pod has a cpu internally to match the board under test. The differences
between the 6800 and 6802/6808 are clock and bus request signals are
different, plus there is an enable on the 6802/8 that is missing on the
6800. You might be able to use the 6800 pod to do simple tests on the 6802
stuff, but I haven't tried it out, certainly it will not harm the pod as
the +5 and grnd are all the same. At worst it will simply claim that
certain control lines are wrong. Perhaps a interface plug could be whipped
up that goes between the 6800 and the 6802 socket to fake the control lines
that the 6800 pod needs to see?
