Other key parts include the 74LS04, LM555xN, 27C64 and 74LS10. By type, the board carries 8 resistors, 5 ICs, 3 capacitors and 2 diodes.
From the project
Soak Test Cartridge for the Dragon 32 computer
A cartridge designed to test the Dragon 32 hardware in a loop. The ROM program will change a pattern on screen and lit a green led on the cartridge if tests are passing, and freeze the machine and lit a red led if any test fails. The cartridge will not work on a Dragon 64 or a Dragon 200 as it performs a ROM checksum and later models will make the checksum test fail.
