Doesn't Applied Engineering still sell their 80-column card?  (Yeah,
yeah, 900 numbers are a lousy way to do tech support, but my DataLink
2400 and my RamWorks haven't died on me.)

Or, as the seller posted, you might get a handful of parts from it.
(A small handful; I have the extended 80-column card left over from
installing the RamWorks.  It's just 64K of DRAM (eight chips), a

Not a whole lot of stuff.)
