Re: Fluke 9010a + z80 pod questions

<x-flowed>
Hi John,

Thanks for the info. I disabled everything in the setup program but still
no luck. I also tried to get the pod to test itself by using an extra
socket with pin 29 cut off and that didn't work either. I have the feeling
something is defective with the pod itself.

Has anyone done an EPROM dump for the pod's EPROM? I could start by
replacing that and the other socketed chips.
