For anyone who might find this useful, this is a spread sheet of the tables on this page.

Most of the info on this page was taken from the following catalogues.
Page 52 of 1982 catalogue
Page 63 of 1983 catalogue
Page 83 of 1984 catalogue
Page 129 of 1986 catalogue
Page 126 of 1987 catalogue
Page 130 of 1988 catalogue

Alright this is about as far as I'm going to go on this. So I'll say it's complete for now.

I thought I was done, maybe not. I found a lot of pictures on Ebay for Tektronix Probe adapter and they seem to be for disassembly of processor instructions, but I can't find info on them. Maybe they are for the DAS9200 system, but it's very obscure. I made one page with it, but it seems incomplete 92DM31. It might take a while before I can figure this out. What can we usually do about Ebay photos? Is it alright to use them? If I don't own it and I can't take a picture of the item then I use them, but I do prefer taking my own. (even though I don't have the best camera).

Other thing, when I put ""Motorola 68030"" would it be a possibility that it just links to a wikipedia page maybe? Or do we want to keep this on this wiki. Either way, it's just I will probably not make an individual page for each processor.--Floopy (talk) 21:03, 22 May 2020 (PDT) --Floopy (talk) 21:03, 22 May 2020 (PDT)

You can redirect by using the internal link format with a wikipedia: prefix thanks to the interwiki setup we have (other example is tube:). See 68030 example.

I'm trying a little cleanup on the 1240/1241 section for clarity and readability e.g. eliminating some indirection and footnoting. As indicated in the text, there appears to be confusion and redundancy in Tek's part numbering for the ROM Packs; perhaps looking at the later catalogs will clarify this. Also, reorganizing analyzer entries chronologically, as by ascending model numbers doesn't make any sense e.g. DAS9100 came out before 1240.
