As mentioned, the ROM and instructions are available - that reminds me, I may let that domain retire soon, so if someone would like to provide a place to host my handful of ROMs, please reach out.

 

I have no plans to create any more carts but in the same vein, if someone wants to pick that up, I'd be happy to lend a hand. I just don't have a lot of time to dedicate to dev/manufacture these days, but I definitely see some recurring interest in some more of the diagnostic carts. I naively assumed that everyone would have an LTO Flash by now

I do have a flash, but i would be first in line to get a copy of the original in-box cart. I tried grabbing one off of Ebay but got beat out in the last few seconds. I think its a neat tool that would come in handy.

Yikes, I had no idea these were going for so much. I'd definitely like to see a few more on the market. Ironically, I still have a bunch of unfolded boxes in storage somewhere. Just no more carts, or the other bits!

I have seen quite a few online posts in places, where people (re)find their Intellivision and aren't sure why it doesn't work with their games. This diagnostic work is awesome, and would be great to point someone to a spot and say "go buy that FW cart for $20 and download the PDF and you can test the console, nuff said".

I never knew this even existed once.  Will anything like this happen again?  I'm using the FW Diagnostic rom with my LTO Cart.  Just be cool if something like this sells a second run.  Sure others would jump to buy.  I don't know if it is possible but never hurts to ask. 😉

[freewheel]

Anything is possible, but unfortunately I don't have the time nor brainpower to set up another production run. I'm always willing to talk, if anyone wants to help out! I suspect a cart-only run would sell fairly well, given the comments and requests I've had over the years.

Yep. It would.  Just the cart.  And maybe the manual.  And overlays. And a box.  Some desoldering wick, flux, voltage meter, logic scope.  Oh, and replacement mylars.   
 

just the basics.
