Steve, I just noticed that the GoldCard 7.1 rom image is wrong in your Club100 directory. It's a copy of the DISK+ 3.1 rom. However, the hex file is correct. I converted it to a binary and here is a copy of that: http://tandy.wiki/File:GoldCard_7.1.bin -- bkw On 1/11/21 19:40, Steve Baker

This is very cool. Could you look a little more at the cards? Do they come apart to see the board inside? Is the battery permanent or a removable coin cell? Does the main unit with the sockets come apart to see that board? I love how thin the unit is. -- bkw On 1/10/21 5:25 PM, Steve Baker
