RE: Logic Analyzer

I guess this email is directed mostly towards Clay, but I thought it might
be a good discussion to bring back up.

I've been thinking of picking up a Tek 1241 logic analyzer sometime in the
near future and have noticed one or too discussions in the past about
developing a mnemonics multicart for the processors commonly found in our
beloved games. (6502, z80, 6809, etc)

Is this multi-mnemonic cart (or should I say Multi-Pack?) still a future
possibity?

  RAM packs are out there for reasonable dollars. I had NO luck finding
  the mnemonic packs (and they designed and built the thing here). I
  finally had a Tek employee catch a want-ad from me and send it to the
  "right person" at Tek and got in touch with someone there that knew
  about them. He made me 6502, 6809, 68HC11, and Z80 packs in exchange
  for a bunch of Diamond hardware I bought through my employee purchase
  account. I'll look into making a multi-mnemonic cart 'cause I *know*
  how hard it is to find the ROM packs! They're really cool, but a pain
  to hook up unless you can dedicate some leadsets to a 40-pin DIP clip...

  :-) We still have a 1240 here at Diamond (from our Supra Corp. days).
  It's still useful and the only thing the engineers really like to use.
  (the Tek is just soooooo easy to setup and use compared to the
  HP16550...)
