I spent the last week trying to document some of my analyzers and ICEs. There
are tons of photos, firmware dumps and some new manuals on bitsavers under
appliedMicrosystems, biomation, hmi, futuredata, hp/te hp/64000 and hp/64700.
The HMI-200-68000 manual that arrived today had the 68K DOS software in the
binder, zipped and up now under bits/HuntsvilleMicrosystems
Has anyone ever noticed a pattern to the numbering on the underside of MMI PALs?
It would be nice not to have to lift the labels off them. The ones I indentified
were
B7304 14L4
B7320 16L8
B7321 16R4
B7830 20S10
B7840 20L8
Most are protected. Every once and a while I found one that wasn't.
I'd be interested in other AMC ICE firmware dumps to add to the archive. I've
made
some progress identifying the buses and what the various chunks of firmware are for.
Next thing to do is trace the pinouts and see if the house-marked 6809 memory mapper
is a MC6829.
From looking at the manual, the HMI-200 is kind of interesting in that it can run
without a target. The Applied Microsystems units require a 'null target' board.

I think those are packaging lot numbers, so they may not have a 1:1
correspondence with part numbers.

house-marked 6809
memory mapper is a MC6829.
The Motorola SC67476 is apparently an MC6829. The SC prefix indicates
that it was sold as a custom (or semi-custom) part, so it could have
functional, electrical, or timing differences from the MC6829
specifications.

As always your work is very appreciated.
You have pictures now of the 10343B SCSI Bus Preprocessor. Have you
found a copy of the Config/IA disk for that? The last time I looked at
the manual for it I didn't think it was compatible with the Config/IA
for the E2423A SCSI Bus Preprocessor (which is also the same thing as
the FuturePlus FS2230).

I'll dig around. I also need to dump the eprom int he RS-232 preprocessor
which also has an HP-IB connector. That may be handy if I start looking
at CS-80 disk transactions.

Let us know if you turn up documentation on a Zax ICD-378 68000/68010 ICE?
I picked up one of these in mint condition at a flea market but, as is too
often the case, without any manuals.
It may have enough similarities to the Zax Z80 ICE to muddle through, but
it would be great to find the docs.

hello. i have 3 of the hmi units. one is for the 68008 that i need to
convert to a 68000
2 are for the 68020
in the manual all you do to convert is replace 2 dip jumper blocks and
the CPU with the 68008 module
what i need is the 68000 dip jumper block connections so i can reconvert
the unit back to a 68000
you have documented everything well but there is no information in the
dip jumpers
can you help out an old computer person ?
thanks
