What is this analyzer?

Mar 27, 2005 6 Replies

Figured I'd ask here as well as anywhere. Manufacturer's name is Millennium Systems, Inc., model number A02-D2-02-XX-XX. Here's a pic:

It was given to me, I mainly wanted it for the two ZIFF sockets, but before I dismantle it I wanted to see if it had any historical significance. I can supply more detail pics if needed.



Thanks!

It is a MicroSystem Analyzer manufactured by Millennium Systems Inc., Cupertino, CA around 1979.

It attaches to the processor of a microprocessor under evaluation and is used to observe and display data associated with its operation. It has a limited ability to influence program content and execution. I don't know what microprocessors it supported (think 1978-80 timeframe).

Ok, sounds proprietary and obscure enough to not have any particular value. I'll be stripping it out for parts over the next few days.

Thanks!

Might wanna see if anyone wants it first, I don't know if it has any value as a unit but the pair of zif sockets is only worth about $10.

Any idea who might want something like this? I'd happily trade it for a few parts like the ZIF sockets. I was rummaging through the bag o' stuff that came with it and it has pods for both an 8048 and 6802 processors. I assume the former is Intel and the latter Motorola.

That does sound pretty old and obscure, not sure what all used those CPU's. At any rate it looks like a fairly neat package, you could build something interesting out of it.

E-bay.
