I've been on a quest for a while to resurrect the Trump Card. This was based on a set of articles published in BYTE Magazine back in 1984 by Steve Ciarcia. The card is designed to be placed in an IBM PC 5150 or similar clone, and adds a 16-bit Zilog Z8000 processor with 512KB of RAM. It's a truly unique product for its time, but what makes it unique is the software, which I don't have and might be lost to the world, so I'm calling out for help to anyone who might have the software for this unique expansion card. Please, help me return this Z8000 coprocessor back to service! For more vintage and retro computer projects, see smbaker.com
