Micha³ and I recreated the card and added some enhancements:
- 64 KB of ROM
- using the well available 8255 instead of the rare 6525
Micha³ then managed to dump MS-DOS 3.2 into the EPROM, 3.30 was a bit too big, and things ran fine, both on a 610 and 720. He expanded the card much further but it is to him to explain that.

I do have Eagle schematic and board files so Gerber files can be created. But Micha³ has a vote in this as well and may be has better options. Micha³?
