@adriansdigitalbasement.com found (and fixed) a C64 that had a terrific hardware hack. In honour of that machine I've patched my Keyboard tester program to suit it better.

I teased DesTest VIC20 at VCF Montreal. Today I've released it. Take a look here: factorofmatt.com/destest-vic20 There are two binaries: one for use on a standard 8K cartridge and one as a replacement kernal.

Feels like ages since I built anything but I finally got around to making my Destest Max Switch. Now I just need to find some more non-working C64s as I've recently got all mine working.

A DesTest Max Switch cartridge for the C64.

A monitor showing a full memory test screen for the DesTest-max-switch.

Well, Lee, Adrian and Mark - how about this? DesTestKernal - a version of DesTest that you can program onto an appropriate PROM as a replacement for the C64 kernal ROM. When cartridges fail you, this little beauty might just get the job done! factorofmatt.com/destestkernal
