The Trump Card was a project published in BYTE Magazine in 1984, a Zilog Z8000 coprocessor for the IBM PC. Amongst other things, it included CP/M-80 emulation. In addition to the BYTE Magazine article, it was sold as a commercial product by Sweet Micro Systems.

I've been looking for Trump Card software for some time with no luck, but recently the opportunity came up to purchase a Trump Card (sadly, without software) so I now own this card and am once again renewing my quest to find the software. The hardware itself is well-documented and would be easily reproducible, but the software is not.

As this was probably of interest to the CP/M community back in the 80s, I'm hoping some folks here might have held onto the software, or at least be able to recommend me the next place to journey to on my quest.

Thanks,
Scott

If all else fails, there is CP/M-8000: http://www.cpm.z80.de/binary.html

Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, I've thought about that. I could port the CP/M-8000 BIOS to talk to the host computer and plumb through a console and file interface. But, there was some really nice software that came with the Trump Card -- a basic compiler for example.

Sometimes I play the long game with things like this. A few times I've put up a video and then 3-5 years later someone will happen across it and have some critical missing resource.
