Given the current discussion, has anyone looked the Central Point "copy
card" floppy controller over?
I am looking at one of mine right now, and to my limited "PC" eyes it seems
fairly normal. Barely the length of a short ISA slot, with fingers on a
edge connector as well as a set of header pins for the floppy drive cable.
It has one main chip:
Transcopy 3 c CPS
TC19GO32AP-0036
Japan 8819EA! the ! could be just a vertical line.
Its about 8051 sized, maybe 60 pins. There is a 48 khz crystal, and a 1987
copyright. Two sets of jumpers seem to select between PC/XT and AT/Compaq,
another set looks like DMA1 or DMA2.
Remaining chips are a LS245 to the ISA bus, a 7406 by the PC/XT jumpers,
and a 8812S UM8326B next to the crystal.
This is one of the cards I check every old PC I see for.
