EZ-Hook XKM. I don't know whether they cloned the HP grabber probe, or supplied them to HP. They're expensive, so I usually buy the HP grabbers on eBay. Watch out. There are some Chinese clone grabbers that look like the XKM or HP, but aren't nearly as good. On Sat, Oct 27, 2018, 18:57 Al Kossow

Has anyone seen a source for these clips? http://bitsavers.org/mysteries/salea_clip.JPG They come with the Salae logic analyzer, and are like the HP logic analyzer clips in that the wire is detachable, instead of the common style you can buy where you have to solder on a wire.

So, I bought a copy of the FP11-A Technical Manual (EK-FP11A-TM), but when it got here, it was the 'Preliminary' version (-PRE), with type-written text, some of the figures are hand-drawn, etc. This manual does not seem to be generally available online, although at one point a copy was available f

RE: PinOut of DEC F11 Chips in a Professional 350

Thanks Noel. According to the printset for the KDF11-A pin 23 is the RESET signal, which would make it the 3rd pin from the right at the top right of the CPU. The printset also showed a second chip with its RESET on pin 23 and I have confirmed that E151 and E152 have pin 23 tied together. So I am p
