not for sale but can burn the Amstrad diagnostics ROM into an EPROM and build your own cartridge.

The diagnostics rom has one downside: the computer has to be in such a condition that it at least can read from ROM properly. Any defect in the system that prevents ROM from being read properly (like a short, broken traces, a data line always high, etc) you won't be able to boot the diagnostics software.
