In the mean time, we have the Versa64Cart project here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134602334370 There is one important thing to note when using this C128 Diagnostic Keyboard Dongle. When the C128 is turned on with the dongle switch position on, the machine language monitoring software automatically operates as if the RUN/STOP key had been pressed. This is normal and not a malfunction. To run the 785260 diagnostic software, the computer must be turned on with the switch on the dongle in the off position. The switch needs to be turned on once the diagnostic software starts running. The two control port dongles can only work if the keyboard dongle is connected. Please note,control port dongles only support testing the game paddle functions (controlled by the SID). Control port dongles do not test four joystick directions and fire button functions! With a real joystick and a joystick test program, you must test the four joystick directions and the fire buttons functions separately. ( https://csdb.dk/release/?id=134875 ) Make sure that the dongles are not connected to the Commodore computer in reverse position, incorrectly connecting dongles could damage Commodore computer ! The LED on this keyboard dongle will not light when used with C128DCR models. This is normal because C128DCR models do not have +5V on the keyboard connector.Will be carefully packaged for safe shipment.
