Hi all.
The Falcon service manual makes mention of a FALCON30 expansion test fixture. It apparently has 16K RAM on it and you can load the diag roms onto it amongst other features. Has anyone ever seen one of these? I can't find any reference to it except for the service manual.
Thanks!
Stuart

DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Re: FALCON30 expansion test fixture
Best Electronics has these. Have a look at http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/falcon.htm and scroll down to the Diagnostics section near the end of the page. It's not required for testing unless you want to test all the external ports.sety wrote: 07 Apr 2020 06:35 The Falcon service manual makes mention of a FALCON30 expansion test fixture.

The RAM on the test fixture isn't for the diag ROM. I presume it's just used to buffer data when testing the bidrectional ports.

Re: FALCON30 expansion test fixture
Are you sure about this? I interpreted the manual to believe it plugs into the expansion header on a near dead Falcon and provides some basics to get a minimal boot and give some low level info to get out of the dark. If this is the one from BeST, then I will definitely buy one.

Oh wow, that does indeed sound like a different device. My bad. Never heard of this one. Very interesting.sety wrote: 09 Apr 2020 11:11 Are you sure about this?

Re: FALCON30 expansion test fixture
Just an update on this. Asked Bradley about it:
When we got the rights to clear out the Sunnyvale Atari parts department, we cleared out every shelf of Atari parts they had. On top of that we also cleared out the Atari Techs area to. Never saw any other Falcon Test hardware in both areas. It most likely was one of the Falcon test hardware pieces Atari was going to make in the future, but never got around to it.
