Re: Fluke 9100 repository?

Kev,

Being a fellow 9100 user, I'm interested in solving the signature
problem too.

I'm new to the TechTools list and I may be covering stuff you guys have
been over before and be stating the blindingly obvious, but here goes...

If the 9100 does in fact use a CRC algorithm, then there are only so
many polynomials that are useful. As a start, trying out CRC-12, CRC-16
and CRC-CCITT that are all 16-bit orientated polynomials might yeild a
match with what the 9100 generates.

As far as I know, the pods themselves do the signatures in the 9010
configuration. Here, one would think a disassembly of the pod ROM would
yield what we need or failing that a simple driver in MAME that runs the
pod code would do the trick?

Regards,

Paul.
