[Techtoolslist] Fluke 9000A mystery adapter (for me at least ; -)

[Ian Eure]

9000A-200 was a kit Fluke sold so you could adapt unsupported CPU types.  An early Troubleshooter article describes the process and gives some examples for ex 6512 and 2650 CPUs.  You’d plug a similar pod into the ZIF socket on the adapter, then the adapter probe into your UUT.

Looks like the /AB is an official Fluke product — the normal -200 has blank paper labels for you to fill in, while those are plastic printed ones — which adapts the Zilog Z8 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilog_Z8).  Guessing you’d plug a Z80 pod into it.
