Hi everyone;
I've been using the diagnostic bios and z80 test cart a lot recently.
in that time I have discovered these use cases
The vision is
all the instructions will be on the front of the cart so I dont forget them
(inactive) dirt cheap 40 pin zif sockets from aliexpress at C1 and C2 for bios storage
(active) dirt cheap 32 pin zif socket from aliexpress at M1 just in case a wonderful person ever updates the M1 rom
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003196199947.html
holes in the back of the cart for tool-free access to zif sockets at M1, C1, C2
Feedback please on the wording and instructions, are these generic to make sense to other people?

I've been using the diagnostic bios and z80 test cart a lot recently.
in that time I have discovered these use cases
- I forget what button+direction combo I need to run the z80 test on a particular slot
- I take the stock/unibios bios out to fit the diag bios, put the old bios somewhere "safe" and forget where I put it.
- I use a bare board for the Z80 test cart that is prone to misalignment
