help with Arium ML4100 Logic Analyzer ?

Sorry I can't help you but following your comments about support I looked at their web site and found:

Arium is committed to providing the best ARM, Intel, and AMD JTAG In-Circuit Emulators and debuggers available today. Technical support is a paramount priority... the company aids our valued customers through project completion.

A couple of years ago I dug out the circuits for a HiFi (Lustraphone LP100) amp I worked on in the 70s and sent them to some one who was trying to fix one. If I can do it as a one man operation I'm sure American Arium could if they wanted. That they don't means they are on my 'never do business with' list.

I hate people who won't support their old stuff.

Rant over.

I agree with your point.

The "company" made it, people still want to use it, then help them when they request it.

I think product technical docs for equipment obsoleted by the company and not-supported should be made available to those trying to repair use that equipment ?

I might even sign a non-disclosure, as it is not my job to hand that info out, i just want to use it.

Anyways, I suppose one might argue if there new equip used technolgy from their old stuff then the company is protecting their inteleectual property. From what i have seen on their new web site at American Arium... it is hard to imagine how they are using any technology out of an 80's Logic Analyzer.

I have an old Philips PM3632 analyzer, and it's just a rebranded Arium 4100. I have (amongst others) a multifunction 8085 - 8035/9 - 8031/2 pod with it and the ROM package in the analyzer recognizes the pod, it allows me to select between the 3 processor families.

According the service manual the ROM board can carry up to 8 of 2732/64/128 chips. My board (ARIUM ASSY 920-0545 rev A) has:

socket chip marking used for chip type jumper

----------------------------------------------------------------------- U1 MIN00-F ARIUM 8085/8031/... NEC D2764D 8403PX009 B-C U7 MT600-A trig 16 bit Intel D2764-3 ... A-B U8 M6K00-B 68000/68010 Intel D27128-3 A-B

If this data matches your analyzer, maybe I could be of any use. If you are interested contact me at the temporary email address snipped-for-privacy@ademu.com

I got the same response - very friendly, but a stone wall.

I have a ML4100 with a manual. I scanned the manual into a PDF, which I sent to BAMA, so I'm sort of surprised you couldn't find it there. Regardless, feel free to email me and I'll send a copy to you.

I have the 8031/8051 pod; which also supports the 8085, and the 8031/8051 dissassembly ROM. I haven't dived into the guts of this machine, but I bet those ROMS could be copied pretty easily, so one could make their own backups with a generic EPROM programmer. I guess they could be exchanged too, if one had a mind to do so ;-)

The manual includes the pin-outs (but not the schematics) of all the pods.
