Dragon Soak Test card

Post by root »

Just got myself a Dragon32 and have been looking at buiding the soak test card

Does anyone have one of these illusive cards. The only info I can find is here:

https://archive.worldofdragon.org/index ... _Soak_Test

However the link to the ROM is no longer working, and my google-fu is not turning up any other source.

There also does not appear to be any schematic that I could find. Looking at the PCB pics I've managed to get 80% of the schematic completed but capacitor values cannot be read. There are also 1 or 2 tracks I'm not sure of.

Anyone have one of these card that can provide some details.

Hi, and welcome to the Archive!

The Downloads are being reworked, but while it's done, you can find the rom here:
https://archive.worldofdragon.org/brows ... oak%20Test

Regarding the cartridge itself, I don't remember if I still have it or not, so I'll take a look whenever possible and let you know as soon as I know.

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks very much. Downloaded the ROM now. Let me know if you find that cart - hope you still have it.

Will make the schematic available once completed so this can be preserved.

Did you ever manage to find this cart?

Managed to get my Dragon32 repaired over the weekend so would love to build a replica of this card.

Sadly no, I don't have it any more.

Maybe Simon, our admin, or Richard Harding may have one.

Finally managed to get all the info with the help from Richard on FB and it looks like it's working.

If anyone else is interesting in building these I've posted the gerbers, schematics and other details to github:
