Found treasure - Fluke 9010A
I was looking in the attic for something and a box I thought was empty actually contains a Fluke 9010A debugger with an 8080 pod. I used it for one of my first projects debugging my Altair -- 15 years ago I’m guessing. I thought I sold it, but I guess not ☺ My wife, unfortunately, doesn’t share my gleeful exuberance… If anyone has a Z80 or 8086 pod for it, keep me in mind!

Nice!

I'm also looking for a Z80 pod. Mine came with the 68000 pod (we used it for testing/debugging COMBOARDs, but it works great on Amigas!) and I purchased a 6502 pod some years back. I'd love an 1802 pod but those are scarce. Z80 pods are not scarce but because of pinball machines, they aren't cheap. Fantastic tool. I most recently used mine to track down a bad DRAM on a WCS Daughterboard on an Amiga 1000 that was throwing a cyan screen. It was perfect for flipping the WCS write bit and testing WCS RAM. -ethan
Yes, I agree. Interestingly enough, I got most of my manual copies from a pinball site. Most of what I work on now are Z80 things, but I have some 8086 stuff.

My Fluke PDFs probably came from the same sites.

I was not into the Z80 back in the day, but I'm finding the Z80 starting to edge into stuff I'm working on, mostly by way of CP/M and mostly for firing up old text adventures (Scott Adams and Infocom, primarily). I have 3-4 Z80 boxes now, if you include a Commodore 128. -ethan

Wow, you lucky bastard! One of those has been on my wish list for a very long time.
My wife, unfortunately, doesn’t share my gleeful exuberance…
