I have tested the DOS RAMDISK driver that comes with the PCPI
disk. Works just fine. FID reports about 123K of free memory.
Just 5K for the overhead is not bad. I have the 128K memory
installed.
So the card development is done 100%. I have added an option to
switch the common bank area between 8 and 16K. Since I needed
to change the board a bit I have added an extra touch. A place to
add extension. As an example a tiny USB plug-in board that will
provide an extremely fast connection with a PC/MAC/Linux box.

This way the RAM disk could be loaded from the host as one
example. Or a very fast serial link for either DOS or CP/M.
You get the idea.
Again, I'm only adding a place on the board to add it if wanted.
New requests are not coming, so here is the list:
willy46pa - 1 board
badavis 2 full boards
sean.fahey 2 full boards
jack.rubin 2 kits
glenn.jones 2 kits
snhirsch 2 kits
mcs6502 1 kit
narguthru 1 kit
jgray 1
mdj.mdj 1
For a total of 5 boards and 10 kits. If you don't see
yourself in the list, let me know. I'm about to order
the PCBs.
