I assume you are referring to the device that clips on the CPU.

I thought I had uploaded them, but I do not see them at Zimmers.net.
There are two versions, one for machines with the 6545, and one for those 
without the 6545.  In order for these to work, the CPU, zero page RAM, and 
the video display must be working.

I also have some RAM and ROM test routines I have never uploaded.
These are modifications of the Commodore RAM and ROM test routines.
