I'm sure his phone beat you to the punchLooking forward to receiving my finders-fee.
Wow! Impressive list of tools.
Two weeks and no pics?
Is this really current pricing on 6809e pod?
I was thinking of selling my spare.
SOLD - PARTS - Fluke 9010A(keeping), Z80 pod(keeping), 6502 pod(Sold), and 6809 pod(Sold)
My life has changed a bit over the last 3 years, and simply don't have time to do the deep dives in game boards like I used to. Get ready for sticker shock. Looking for 4K for the lot. 9010a works fine, probably looks better than most. 6502 pod looks good, works fine (I used to use it a lot)...

Anyone know what the Fluke 9005A/9010A/9020A control panel display and keyboard overlays are made from Polycarbonate, Polyester or something else? Asking for a friend
For the early Fluke pods where both the lower and upper board are component side up has anyone designed an adapter pcb to allow them to be powered-up separated so you can easily probe the lower board that is normally hidden? (*1)
I robbed some of the (long obsolete) AMP Mod IV connectors from a parts pod and was going to fab up a board but maybe it's already been done or there's some other smart way to run these separated that my brain isn't cluing into?
Thanks!
1: obviously Fluke smartened up later on and made the upper board component side up and the lower board component side down so you didn't run into this issue.

Does anyone have ROM dumps of the Fluke 9000A Pod Test Fixtures they can share?
I think there were 5 initially of these test fixture, maybe more. I know of 8080, 8085, Z80, 6502 and 6802.
They plugged into the Pod self test socket and the UUT cable plugged into them. They provided a known, minimal, UUT with test points. I am thinking of making a modern repro of them to assist with troubleshooting and fixing Pods.

@JRR John Robertson is the only person I know who has these. AFAIU they were never a product, Fluke internal for their test centers. There was also software for each (on tape). John posted about them on the TTL but I can't seem to find the thread anymore. Pictures and PDFs are here: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment/Fluke/9XXX Pods/PodTestFixtures (FTP only, no HTTP).
If someone ends up sharing the ROM/tape data hopefully they will advocate for any resulting Gerbers being made freely available. The boards themselves are rather simple.

I think John already posted the Tapes. If not the programs are listed in the test fixture document and there is an update to some in an addendum.
I agree these would be a good projects to share. If I get to make any that work, I will share them. Curious to look at the code in ROMs for them.
I think there may have been others made for all the Pods based on the way the test fixture document reads. Not sure how we will ever know that.

I have been trying to compile a complete parts list for all the Fluke 9000A Pods. It is currently at around 2,268 lines with all Pods (I know of) and their components. I would also like to add the 90xxA and 91xxA/FT Mainframes as well as the options for them.
Here is an extract of the PCB's used in the various Pods. From information I have been able to read from manuals I have, pdf's or physical Pods.
I know there are different revisions of the PCB's. I am trying to add in the Errata I have been able to find to work out the last version of any Pod and its associated components. As well as the revisions, there are for example two different versions of the 8086 and 8088 Pod PCB's and two different manuals to match. There are also, strangely, some different PCB's (not common between Pods) that have the same Axx number, for example 8051 and 8086 both use A39 and A39 numbers for different PCB's. So much we don't know about these things.
I will share the full parts list once I have triple checked it. Still working at removing typos from entering so many items and trying to add in Errata I have from manuals or pdfs. Also adding notes on physical components used in any Pods I have. Eventually it should all help to determine what the final (assumed best) parts are to use for the various Pods and any mods needed for earlier versions and possibly Repro's.
I you have a Pod with a different PCB Axx number please post info on it, it would be good to try and record all the ones we know are out there.

Ah, yes, the test cards...I still have them and really need to archive them (again?) as I can't find the EPROMs filed away on my computer at all...nag me!
The tapes are also on Tech Tools List FTP site under Fluke/9010 Series/9010A Tapes/POD_TEST...

If anyone is tinkering with the test fixture cards or thinking of making any I've updated the photos and added the EPROM files:
ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment/Fluke/9XXX Pods/PodTestFixtures
Note that the Test Fixture tapes are hiding in:
ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment/Fluke/9010 Series/9010A Tapes
Any questions?

Thanks John, much appreciated.
Just working through the Z80 Code now, will share it in the next day or two after I work through it to add meaningful comments (away this weekend attending a 70th Birthday).
It is just a bunch of jumps to certain boundary addresses to toggle addresses lines and some reads and writes to higher addresses to toggle those address lines, possibly used to toggle data lines as well as it writes 00H and reads from an unmapped address where data lines are pulled high. There are some infinite jump loops in between the code flow as well.

Oops, sorry. I went to update the post to fix a typo I noticed in the code comments and I accidentally deleted the post. Here it is again (with the typos corrected).
Below is the assembler code for the Z80 Pod Test Fixture and a pdf is attached which uses color coding to make it more readable. It assembles and matches the original code. I hope it helps to explain the Text Fixture code operation for those that are interested.
Below is the assembler code for the Z80 Pod Test Fixture and a pdf is attached which uses color coding to make it more readable. It assembles and matches the original code. I hope it helps to explain the Text Fixture code operation for those that are interested.
Code:
;Fluke Z80 Pod Test Fixture EPROM Code 652669 V1.1
;
;The Z80 Test Fixture plugs into the Pod Self Test socket. It only uses power and clock from the Pod socket.
;The Pod UUT Cable plugs into the Z80 socket on this fixture, making it the UUT. Running from the Pod power and Clock.
;
;The EPROM is enabled during /MREQ cycles when A11 is low. A10-A0 and D7-D0 map to EPROM A10-A0, D7-D0.
;There are pullup/pulldown resistors that place 0CFH on the data bus, whenever the EPROM is not selected.
;All Z80 control inputs are pulled high, making them inactive.
;
;There is a resistive voltage divider and switch to simulate a powerfail using the fixture.
;
;This EPROM code is used during RUN UUT to exercise certain address and data lines on the Pod
;
;The code uses jumps, to several addresses, to toggle certain high order address bits during instruction fetches.
;It uses read and write instructions to toggle address lines above the EPROM space.
;
;There are three seperate tests in the EPROM, one each for Reset, IRQ and NMI
;The Pod Reset signal is initially driven by the Pod and executes the Reset test when RUN UUT (at taddress 0) is started
;Reset places the Z80 in Interrupt Mode 0, which requires a program byte be placed on the data bus when IRQ is toggled.
;When IRQ is toggled and the CPU executes the Interrupt Acknowledge, the pullup/pulldown 0CFH data is read. 0CFH is a RST 08H insctruction.
;When NMI is toggled the code jumps to address 66H.
;
;For completeness the unused bytes in the ROM are 0FFH. This is a RST 38H instruction, which would go to invalid code if executed.
;
;The IRQ and NMI tests are accessed by manually pulsing the respective Z80 or test pins low after Reset.
;
;There is no RAM, which for the Z80 means no stack space
;When an allowed Interrupt occurs it pushes the interrupt routine return address to nowhere
;
;There are Jump to self loops after each piece of code.
;These are to try and keep the Z80 looping at one spot if there is an error.
;
;The address lines exercised by each test are as follows (A6 to A0 to be confirmed):
; A15 A14 A13 A12 A11 A10 A9 A8 A7 A6 A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 A0
;RESET A13,A12, A11, A5 --- to ----- A0
;IRQ A14, A12, A8, A7, A5 --- to ----- A0
