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. PCPI 1150 W. Bernado Ct.
