content: I've searched and scoured, but have found nothing.I have a Tek 1240 with an 12RM63 6502 disassembly cartridge. I would like to use it but I can't find a manual explaining how to hook it up. There are 5 control lines that connect somewhere. I figured one of the lines (R/W). Where I can find a manual for this cartridge? Even a manual to some other Tek 1240 ROM cartridge could shed some light.Does such a manual exist?-Thanks

content: Quote from: Floopy on December 22, 2018, 11:43:54 pmWhat a coincidence. I've just had my 1240 out to check it. Was discussing ROM packs with user bsb0011 here.He mentioned the Tek ROM images athttp://w140.com/tekwiki/wiki/1240There are a LOT of them, but all listed by Tek part numbers and what instrument they are for.I'm sure many are for disassembler ROM packs, but haven't found any index of what packs used what EPROM PNs.Tek wasn't kind enough to put any helpful identifier text IN the EPROMs.So far I didn't find any ROM pack user manuals. Yes they did likely exist, since there is a manual for the Comms packThe reason I have my 1240 out, is that I need a 6502 disassembly logic analyzer.Can you tell me the Tek PNs on the EPROMs in your ROM Pack please? And their IC numbers.Hopefully the images are already at Tekwiki.If not, maybe you can read and upload them?Edit to add - I found the IEEE 488 plugin manual.http://gamearchive.askey.org/General/Test_Equipment/TEK Logic Analyzers1200 GPIB COMM pack Manual for the 1200C02 GPIB COMM Pack for 1200 series LAs.1240 Operators Intro1240 Operators PT11240 Operators PT21240 Operators PT31240 Operators PT41240 Operators PT51240 Operators PT61240 Operators PT71240 Operators PT81240 Operators Idx1240 Perf Anal Pack Performance Analysis ROM pack manual.1240 Service Vol2 CH01240 Service Vol2 CH91240 Service Vol2 CH101240 Service Vol2 CH111240 Service Vol2 CH121241 ServiceOh and btw, why I'm looking for a Tek 1240 6502 disassembly pack, is that I'm about to try and resurrect my old Apple II, then document some 6502 disassembly and hacking I did back in 1979, of Apple DOS 3.2Background story here:http://everist.org/NobLog/20181001_missing_wave.htmProblem is, all the printouts I did then were on crappy thermal paper. Which has faded to almost total illegibility.

content: Quote from: JFJ on January 02, 2019, 03:50:06 pmGood info! I noticed that the table looked like it was page 3 of a document, is there any chance you have the rest of this document, or any other connection diagrams for other processors? I am going to be doing a update on the wiki listed at a link above pretty soon, and I would love to include any information that I can. It seems that the information for the Tektronix 1240 / 1241 logic analyzer is spread pretty thin out in the wild, and I'd like to collect it all into one spot for others to find easily.If anyone else has any information on the Tektronix 1240 / 1241 it would be great if you would contact me, so I can get all that updated.As I do not have anything else to contribute to the 6802 in regards to the 1240, I'm going to start a new thread to collect any information on the 1240 /1241, and return this thread to the OP.

content: Quote from: bsb0011 on January 02, 2019, 07:11:07 pmSorry, the 6502 pdf table is exactly as I downloaded it, several years ago.However, I do have full instructions for the 8080, 8085, 8088, 80186 and Z80 processor ROM packs. Also, I have the instructions for the 12RM99 ROM pack (which can be programmed for any processor). I will attach the files to your new thread.
