A brand new fully assembled and programmed, thoroughly tested Commodore 64 Dead Test cartridge complete with 5V voltmeter display to diagnose power issues. Made in the USA.
This cartridge is programmed with dead test software revision 781220.
We sell all types of dead test and diagnostic cartridges.
The main difference between a dead test and a diagnostic test for the Commodore 64/128 is thatthe dead test is a little slower but uses Ultimax mode – which allows it to function without working ROMs / Kernel in the host computer.A diagnostic test is similar but checks the stack and zero page more quickly, performs more extensive RAM tests, and tests the ROMs.To pass a diagnostic test, a Basic Kernel and character ROM is required. However, a diagnostic test can be used with a diagnostic harness consisting of numerous dongles that will also test the hardware ports of your Commodore machine.In short: a dead test has more chance in starting up and indicating a bad fault but a diagnostic test is more thorough and can be extended with a testing harness.
We sell a 2-in-1 Dead test and Diagnostic cartridge (but without the voltmeter) - see our listings in our store.
Quickly diagnose your faulty Commodore 64 with this simple, high quality easy to use cartridge.
