Hi,
I have a project to bring up a prototype Atari pinball board that uses a 6800. Using a Saleae logic 16 I've been able to see it come out of reset and then clear a bunch of ram but then seems to get lost after I believe it is jsr to a routine. Thanks to Al, who dumped the proms and provided me a disassembly I can see that. But using the saleae logic 16 its difficult to turn it into something that will group bits into bytes and capture only on a clk pulse. Or maybe I'm not finding out how to do that. I'm suspecting reading writing ram is a problem.
Anyone here in SFBA can loan me a 9010A with 6800 pod, or maybe something else I can plug in. Fortunately the 6800 is socketed.
Thanks all,
Dale
 
Maybe you can find someone in your area with an HP/Agilent logic analyzer that you can borrow. There is an 6800 Inverse Assembler than can run on an HP/Agilent logic analyzer that can be set up to work with a simple DIP test clip connection to 6800 CPU. The CPU address, data, and control signals are clocked into the analyzer synchronously with the CPU clock and the Inverse Assembler can decode the state capture trace into the instruction opcode execution stream.

Too bad we're not local to each other. I could loan you an HP/Agilent logic analyzer for this purpose.
 
I forgot I had an HP 1630D. It's working well. Just can't power it off cause I can't save my configuration. But at least I can take a photo of the screen in case of accidental power off. Board is up and running now. Had to replace one of the decoder chips as well as the 6800.
