9100 Adapter update

Okay, as promised, v1.1 of the 9100 keyboard adapter is here. Quite a lot has changed in this version so please read through the project page thoroughly. New in this version is a new USA keyboard layout, circuit compatibility with in-circuit programming and debugging and, in order to facilitate this, the PIC has changed (although I have maintained circuit compatibility with the old one).

9100 Keyboard adapter progress

v1.1 is on the way...

Just for anyone that's keeping an eye out for this, the source code has been recovered / rebuilt and I now have a US key map as well. I've also modified the circuit so the reset line from the 9100 is no longer directly connected to the /MCLR line of the 16F84A.

Fluke 9100 Keyboard Adapter

After months of inactivity I'm back with an interesting little project for anyone that owns a Fluke 9100 digital test system. I was recently able to get one of these from the US but as with so many of them, although it came with the video card (many don't) there was no sign of it's long lost programmers keyboard. Not to be put off, I set about making an adapter to allow me to use a standard PC keyboard with a 9100 to PS2 interface. Check out all the details in the projects section.

Atari fun

Not been doing too much lately, have been too busy with non arcade projects for other people but I have had the time to finally make up a test rig for Atari games that use Audio Regulater (and AR2) based voltages. Nothing fancy but will make working on them somewhat easier I hope. The write up can be found in the projects section of the site.

While I was ordering the parts for that I had to get a small speaker in and as the one in the jamma rig blew I ordered one for that too. Why mention this? It means that very soon I'll be having to open up the jamma rig and so I should finally after all this time get round to taking some more pcitures of the finished kit and get part two of that feature put up as well!!
