I have purchased a Diagnostic Cartridge for C16 and C116 (it worked in Plus/4 as well). According to my information, it was available for services only in the past. I made a short video about it (http://www.statron.hu/0/DSCN4085.AVI). Is there anybody who can help me to create CRT file from this cartridge? I'd like to share it on Plus/4 World of course. Thanks in advance!

Szia Attila! Próbálom az általad linkelt dolgot, de vagy az itt nem alkalmazható vagy én csinálom rosszul. Egyébként élőben most láttam először cartridge-t. Szóval amíg az ún. down load megy, addig nem tudok RUN-STOP RESETET csinálni úgy hogy monitorba lépjen be, hanem midig újra kezdődik a letöltés. Jól sejtem, hogy ekkor másolja át a cartridge tartalmát a gépbe? Ha megnézed a videót, akkor látni fogod, hogy a down load után kéri, hogy húzzam ki a cartridge-t. Kihúzás után automatikusan elindul a teszt és itt már be tudok lépni monitorba. Megtennéd hogy szájbarágósan leírod, hogy ezután mit csináljak. Sajna én csak Basic-ban tudtam programozni valamennyire, gépi kódban nem. Köszi előre is!  Re: Diagnostic cartridge Sorry Gentlemen, now I change to Hungarian. Hi Attila! I'm trying the things you've linked to, but either it's not applicable here or the I'm doing something wrong. Otherwise this is the first time I've see a cartridge in real life. So while the so-called. "down load" is going, I can't do a Run/Stop Reset to go to monitor, but instead the down load starts again. Am I guessing right that during this time it's copying the contents of the cartridge into the machine? If you look at the video, you'll see that after the down load it requests the cartridge to be pulled out. After removing it, the test is started automatically, and at that point I can go into monitor. Would you please describe in elaborate steps what I should do after that. Unfortunately I can only program in BASIC a little, not in machine code. Thanks in advance!

There's a couple you can download and try: http://inchocks.co.uk/commodore/Diag264/325062-01.bin http://inchocks.co.uk/commodore/Diag264/325201.01.bin They were not that good in my opinion. Here's a much better one you can try: http://inchocks.co.uk/commodore/Diag264/HTMLManual/Diag264.htm If you would like a kernal based version of Diag264 or you have a spare cartridge to donate, I will make you one. Rob Posted By Lacus on 2014-03-02 09:13:15  Re: Diagnostic cartridge Hi Rob, First of all, thanks for your reply! But, I only intend to dump of my diagnostic cartridge and make crt file from it. You know, I would like to "save" its content. Unfortunately I do not know how to do. But now, I am awaiting answer from TLC who has experiences in this field. If it will be successful, I will share the result. Posted By Csabo on 2014-03-05 22:14:11  Re: Diagnostic cartridge With help from TLC maestro, this has been retrieved for archival purposes. I added it as a separate record (C 16 Tester), but connected the two. Would be interesting to compare the two ROMs, to see what's different between 1.1 and 1.5.
