Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
He was trying to tell you that until you have a working CPU, all of your other tests are wasted. The clock has to work, and the processor has to be latching addresses. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter

Re: TDS 3000B-family 'scope (TDS 3014B) has problem with LAN interface
I'm pretty sure I've found the answer to my problem, though maybe not a solution. In my earlier message, I forgot to mention that I replaced the battery in the Clock/NVRAM module, since the time

Where are you located? I can read, archive, and program these chips if you would like. These chips are supported by BP Micro Programmers including the BP 1410 and BP 1600 and later programmers. They

Re: TDS 3000B-family 'scope (TDS 3014B) has problem with LAN interface
I didn't experience the issue myself; I have always used static IP. I haven't used it hours on end, but I've had no issues for relatively short uses of the scope. Remember to pick a static IP in the

Re: TDS 3000B-family 'scope (TDS 3014B) has problem with LAN interface
Hi Dave, Thanks for your response. I have tried not using DHCP and using the static address that the 'scope acquired when the LAN interface was still working. I could find it in the router's

I seem to recall there being a known issue with these and DHCP. Have you tried setting a static IP appropriate to your network, leaving DHCP turned off? Dave Casey wrote:

TDS 3000B-family 'scope (TDS 3014B) has problem with LAN interface
I recently acquired a TDS 3014B 'scope. It looks fine and operates as it should, except for its LAN interface. In the beginning (first half day since I got the 'scope), it could sometimes be

I was not getting anything at all on ALE. I removed and re-seated the 8085. Unlike the TTL logic chips, the pins on the processor were shiny and clean. However, since I have disconnected the A19 board

If you are not getting a TTL level pulse(s) on the ALE pin after reset, I would not bother going any further. Is the 8085 sitting in one of those POS TI sockets? Try rocking the core chips in their

John, I think suspicions may be moving from ROM rot to a bad CPU or at least a need to clean the CPU pins. Before condemning the CPU check that the voltage swing on the clock input, pin 1, comfortably
