From the project
Open Hardware 16/32/64 Kb Cartridge for the Commodore 16, 116 and Plus/4
One day I decided to fix my old Commodore 16. I found out about Diag264 and, since I knew that C16 carts weren't exactly common (I have never seen one "in the flesh"!), I was somewhat surprised to learn that people are deliberately destroying genuine carts to use them as donors to build a Diag264.
Since I had already built an Open Hardware cartridge for the Commodore 64, I thought that one for the C16 could not be much different, and so this project was born.
