>>> Once in the good old times I had a cart (bought from Roßmöller I believe - although I am not sure if it was their invention) that I used to test the 64s. It was a cart and a set of plugs to connect to all the ports (KBD, USER, CASSETTE, SERIAL, CONTROL). After powering up it tested the ports, RAM etc, giving beeps upon completing each test. I found all the plugs but I can't seem to be able to find the cart itself. As I believe it was a simple ROM cart, I am looking if someone could send me the dump so that I could make myself a new one? I googled quickly but it is not the same as:

I eventually found the cart yesterday.. when searching intensively for something else of course ;-)

Maybe someone could put it up on zimmers aka funet:

or the Cathode Ray Tube version:

I liked it and it was quite useful for me back in the days so I guess someone else may find it useful too. I take the (C) is already expired after 20 years, isn't it?
