Anyone interested in this shell? I gutted it so now it is just the wooden shell. It is solid and made of plywood. Location Apeldoorn but pickup in The Hague, Oldenzaal, Munster (D) is possible.

Thank you, can you explain where/how you can find this and how I should read this when it comes to the fluke terms rom, ram i/o. The learn function comes up with the line 0000-3fff. All other lines are unknow to the fluke.
The mame driver describes the memory map:-
0000-3fff 16Kb Program ROM
4000-7fff 1Kb Work RAM (mirrored)
8000-87ff 2Kb Video RAM Charset A (lower priority, mirrored)
8800-8fff 2Kb Video RAM Charset b (higher priority, mirrored)
9000-97ff 2Kb Video Control write-only (mirrored)
9800-9fff 2Kb Video Scroll Register (mirrored)
a000-a7ff 2Kb Sound Control A (mirrored)
a800-afff 2Kb Sound Control B (mirrored)
b000-b7ff 2Kb 8bit Game Control read-only (mirrored)
b800-bfff 1Kb 8bit Dip Switch read-only (mirrored)
c000-ffff 16Kb Unused
memory mapped ports:
read-only:
b000-b7ff IN
b800-bfff DSW

Technical Area / Memory map help wanted

Hi Guys,
I decided to get to know the Fluke 9010 a bit better so I took an unknow board with a z80 and started cleaning it and working out the pinout. It turned out to be a Naughty Boy. The game is working now so I hooked up the Fluke and started in learn mode.
I was hoping to get a nice memory map but it did not give me that.
I got:
- 4 areas of ram
- No io mapping
- Rom areas that constantly change, only the first and the last area are always the same and test good. The other rom areas located by the Fluke fail the Fluke rom test. There are 8 eprom present so I would expect at least 8 rom memory areas but so far the learn mode only comes up with 6 or 7.
1 - So is this expected behavior for the Fluke?
2 - How should I go forward finding out what the real memory map is?
Any suggestions?

Did I hear my name here 
Sure I can take some pictures and yes you are both welcome to visit have some beers, play some games, always nice. Ofcourse I can take some pictures as well. Just let me know.
The funny thing is that I was just planning to do some updates on my Zacc. The now original power supply is playing up so if anyone has an original power regulator board please let me know. The transformer fuse unit is still in there so I just need the power regulator board.

Meetings, Exhibition, Events... / Re: Arcade locations
« on: December 06, 2017, 09:38:46 PM »There is going to be a great videogame museum in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands, soon. In the middle of the city center, where previously a big 'Shopping center' was (called V&D). Initiator for this museum is Psykick (Hasan), well known in the dutch Gaming community and a great guy. A lot of us has met him more than once. (He is/was also part of Nozomi). And there are lots of Arcade games.
The new museum will partially be sponsored by the city itself, mainly paying for rent building etc. The museum can at least proove itself for one year, after that .....
So, everybody who is in this dutch area (Zoetermeer is only a few clicks away from The Haque), must visit it.
Here are a few links to Dutch articles about it (please use Google translate):

Is it open and if so did any go yet or even have an adres?
