I have a Microprocesser and it has a program built into it. I forget
the numbers, it is at the shop. But is there a machine that can test
these things along with the many other Z80 or 68000 or 8088 etc. I
know there is the Fluke thing but that sounds like a lot work tracking
down all of the modules. I just want to put it in a tester and see if
it works. I know you can sub things but I like to be sure that
something is really wrong before I replace it. I bought a Dune Chip
Checker but it doesn't do Microproccessers. Any one seen something
like that, that does microprocessers?

Thanks
Russ

Do an ebay search for "fluke pod" and you'll see the z80 and 8088 pods,
plus others.

I've not seen an all-in-one tester, and I likely never will.

The "all-in-one" tester does exist, and has existed for decades, they had it
at a place I used to work in Anaheim, CA called Semiconductor Reliability
Laboratories, or SRL for short. Huge box, had to be programmed, could test
at room temp. with liquid nitrogen or high heat. E$PEN$IVE.

For Intel microprocessors there used to be something called an ISIS
workstation that I used to work with to develop firmware, and it had
emulation pods that allowed you to test any Intel uP, and then some. It's
been years since I saw one of those.
