UPIK40
The UPIK40 Universal Probe Interface Kit is a reconfigurable harness that simplifies connection to a 40-pin DIP integrated circuit package. It is meant to be used with the 1240/1241 or DAS9100 with the appropriate disassembly software.
Note: Tektronix made ordering these support options particularly confusing in their catalogs. The 12RMxx ROM cartridge series came first, and with those (in the case of 40-pin DIP targets) the UPIK40 was the "Option 01" Probe Interface. However, in 1987 they stopped advancing the 12RMxx sequence, and all new ROM cartridges carried the 12RM99 designation, with an option suffix instead indicating which CPU the ROM cartridge targeted, and (again, in the case of 40-pin DIP CPUs), the UPIK40 was ordered as the "UPIK40".
The UPIK40 (as "Option 01") supports the following CPUs (ROM Cartridges) on the 1240. Each cartridge's manual details the wiring of the UPIK40 harness for its particular firmware and target CPU:
- 12RM01 (Intel 8080)
- 12RM02 (Intel 8085)
- 12RM21 (Motorola 6800)
- 12RM22 (Motorola 6802)
- 12RM23 (Motorola 6808)
- 12RM24 (Motorola 6809)
- 12RM41 (Zilog Z80)
- 12RM43 (Zilog Z8002/4)
- 12RM63 (MOS 6502)
- 12RM71 (National Semiconductor NSC800)
and the following as "UPIK40":
- 12RM99 Opt 01 (GM ECM)
- 12RM99 Opt 02 (RCA 1802)
- 12RM99 Opt 03 (Intel 8031)
- 12RM99 Opt 06 (Motorola 6805E2)
- 12RM99 Opt 07 (Motorola 6805E3)
- 12RM99 Opt 09 Hitachi 6301/6303)

Pictures
The reader should note that the photo used in the sidebar (upper right of this page) is from the Tektronix catalog, and that they (unfortunately) chose to hide "where the magic happens" behind a ROM cartridge. The photo below labeled "octopus portion only" clearly illustrates how the channel-to-pin configuration is accomplished, and was taken of a Z80 probe interface. The pinout for the 40 pin female connector that connects the ribbon cable (aka octopus cable as seen in photo 6) adapter to the probes follows. NOTE: The connector numbering follows the DIP pin numbering convention (down one side and up the other), NOT the regular ribbon cable standard of odds down one side, evens on the other. Each 40-pin microprocessor gets its own version of the octopus.
