Looking for the elusive "Expanded VisiCalc v1.76a, for the Commodore 8096"

Hi Everyone,

I recently restored my CBM 8096 which has a Z-RAM expansion board from
Madison Computer.
The manual of Z-RAM specifically mentions about a VisiCalc v1.76a.

Here are some excerpts from the manual about this:

*/An important feature of Z-RAM is its ability to bring the CP/M operating
system to your Commodore. But you can certainly take advantage of Z-RAM's
added memory without using CP/M. An expanded version of VisiCalc is
available which allows you to enter more than 7 times as much data as you
could on a Commodore without Z-RAM.

To run WordPro 5 Plus and expanded VisiCalc (version 1.76a, for the
Commodore 8096), two programs are included in your Z-RAM Master disk.
"VLOAD" is for VisiCalc and "WLOAD" for running WordPro 5 Plus. To bring up
VisiCalc or WordPro on your Commodore, you need only run the appropriate
"LOAD" program and have a copy of extended VisiCalc or WordPro 5 Plus in the
other drive. However, we suggest that, for ease of operation, you transfer
"VLOAD" or "WLOAD" to your master disks containing VisiCalc or WordPro
programs, respectively. Instructions for doing this are outlined below./*

I have VisiCalc v1.70A and VisiCalc v1.75A which are available on the net.
However, as of now, there is nothing on the internet about an Expanded
VisiCalc v1.76A for CBM 8096. 
I think we should find this software and make it available for everyone.

Please help in unearthing this lost piece of computer history. 

Also, check out  Douglas Crawford's page about VisiCalc on a PET 8032

Thanks a lot in advance :-)
