GM833 - 512K RAM Disk Card

Description

This interesting card simulates disk drive of 512k.  It was address via Z80 ports in a track / sector manner making interfacing extremely simple from a software point of view.  Each logical sector is mapped to 128K bytes, making this perfect for CP/M. 

Up to 16 boards could be added giving a huge (for the time) 8MB disk which was the largest addressable.  It should be note that this was not really possible due to power consumption and  bus length issues.
