A peripheral card and software package for Apple ][ series that will
move your computer into the future of 8-bit computing.

The CardZ180 System combines a high-speed 8-bit CPU co-processor card
with the latest in 8-bit operating systems and utilities.
The CardZ180 System was designed by experienced Apple CP/M users and
has been extensively tested and refined over a 2 year period. Its
features satisfy the needs of beginners while still going beyond the
dreams of even the most advanced CP/M users.
The architecture of the CardZ180 System follows that of the popular
PCPI Applicard. Device drivers are resident in the Apple's 6502
memory area while up to 1 Megabyte of DRAM memory is available for
CardZ180 System use.
The Operating System (O/S) is the recently released ZDDOS/ZSDOS and
NZCOM combination. This incredible OS allows "on-the-fly" O/S
reconfiguration for command/memory optimization. As part of the
popular "Z-System", it has often been called a mix of CP/M, MS-DOS and
UNIX.
Designed for the future, both the hardware and software of the
CardZ180 System have provisions for easy expansion and enhancement.
