Thanks to my sister's bf's generosity, I am now the proud owner of a
Fluke 87 "TRUE RMS MULTIMETER".
However, I am told it needs recalibration (this is why he gave it
away). It is not _grossly_ out of calibration; as a quick test, I
measured +5V and +12V from a handy (running) computer and local mains
voltage; I got 4.99V (DC), 12.17V (DC), and 122.7V (AC) - all totally
plausible. (Actually, when I first turned it on, it appeared as though
most of the segments on the display were flaky, some dim, some just not
working. I took it apart and put it back together and now the display
totally works - the connection from the pcb to the display is pure
pressure, and I conjecture something jarred it slightly loose.)
I did a bit of searching, but didn't find any manuals around (eg,
bitsavers' fluke/ directory didn't have anything relevant-looking).
Anyone know the procedure, or can point me at a manual somewhere?

Out of interest, has anyone tried Imagedisk with a secondary FDC? I'd just
like to verify that the software works OK with it before trying to diagnose
suspected hardware problems! [1]
[1] With the Zilog 765 board, for the record - board modded to use 0x370 as
the port base, but currently wired to share IRQ 6 and DMA channel 2 with the
PC's built-in floppy controller.

All:
Today I received three Apple II cards for which I'd like to get
some info/manuals on. The first is the "Synch Printer Interface Card" which
I believe is for the Silentype printer (It has a 9-pin DE9F on it).
The second is an Apple-labeled 12k ROM card with part number 960-9104. It
has six sockets and appears to be ORGed at $D000. There's a jumper labeled
"2716" and a small red toggle switch. Maybe it can program EPROMS? Five of
the six slots are filled with Apple ROMs - the D8 ROM is missing.
The third one is from Xebec Systems and is labeled "Apple Host Adapter". It
has a 50-pin 0.1" header along one side. No custom silicon (only an EPROM).
Given the manufacturer and pin header, I'm guessing SCSI.
Any info greatly appreciated.

Was this TDS Telecom?
Hi all,
I was just asked by the local phone company if I was intersted 14 or 15 wyse
60 teminals.
I am not, but if anyone on the list is interested in them (and wants to pay
the freight from here, ZIP is 54001 or pick them up) I would volunteer my
time to help package and ship.
If no one is interested, to the dump they go......
Phil
PS I really would like for all of them to go to one home, I am not
interested in trying to package and ship 14 or 15 indivdual monitors
paperwork etc.
Does anyone know where I can get an MSD SD-2 Service Manual? I'm willing to
pay an indivual or a company (Can't find one that has it).
Thanks

It's probably an RP05/06. The same seller had an alignment pack, which I've
given to Guy S. If you just bought the pack inspector from the same source,
it had the manual with it, which would be useful to scan.
Hi Guys,
Going through the collection to see what I can move out to make
room for material closer to my areas of interest.

Yes, I use it with a secondary FDC and it works just fine.
