Yes, it is worth having a Trump Card, if you cannot get the Gold Card or Super Gold Card - which are hard to find now. We, at the London QL & Quanta Group recently had a Trump Card available, although we are now using it ourselves for the Group ... :-) It gives access to 768K memory, with the largest version, and floppy disk drives. Although, only with DD disks with the standard EPROM at the time. I believe the EPROM can be upgraded. I used a Cumana ExpanderRAM for many years, which gave 512K + 128K = 640K, and DD disk access. You could also look out for expansions like this. There were several types on the market. Which all neatly fitted in to the expansion slot on the side of the QL. Yet making the QL a lot longer in length on a desktop. All of these still used the QL's 68008 main processor. The big advantage of the Gold Card / Super Gold Card is that they have a replacement 68000 processor to speed things up too. >Thanks for all your advice, guys. > >I missed the Gold Card auction :( but I have seen this one > >http://uk.four.ebid.net/perl/auction.cgi?auction=1200854905-28140-8&mo=auction > >for a Trump Card? > >I can see it isn't as much of an uprade as the Gold Cards, but is it >worth having? > >Cheers, > >Norm -- Malcolm Cadman _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
