Just a short note on your
PCPI query - perhaps more
will follow very soon.

PCPI is still alive and
well, although the PCPI
Applicard is no longer
marketed.  They do still
support the card, however,
and do a nice job of it.

Much of the info you
desire is in the OEM
support package with
that is
available from PCPI.
It includes sample drivers
for all device classes,
a 6502 assembler that
runs under the Z80, and
other software information.

The OEM package was about
$35 or $40.

There is very little about
the PCPI hardware in
print.  The best sources
of this are calling PCPI
technical support directly
or Laing Electronics (or
the Laing BBS).  The PCPI
technical people (make
sure you ask for tech
support) were very nice
about answering all of
my questions, and in
as much detail as I cared
to pursue on the hardware
side of things.  Don't
press on the software,
buy the OEM package.  There
are people on this list
who have had a fair amount
of experience with both.
