Andre..
You havn't read all the manuals, and dont fully grasp what the 9100
can do. Its much, much more than a 9010, its a complete 100% pcb test
system, as i've previously described, its not limited to rams and roms.
Read up and learn my young jedi.

As such it's not much more than a 9010 I guess, which is a bit of a shame of course, but I don't see anyone investing so many hours to get programs done for himself or maybe a couple of other guys interested.....
