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.
