No, PCPI did not go out of business.  The last I heard, they were phasing
out on Apple stuff and concentrating on the IBM market.  The PCPI card
alone contains 64k of onboard memory.  The 2x5 and 2x25 expansion pins
are used to piggy-back another memory module onto the Appli-Card.  Each
memory module can contain up to 128k of memory.  Only two modules max
may be added, though.  This gives you a RAM disk with a 222k workspace,
-2k for the directory, and - 32k for software management.
 
PCPI offers an OEM package for about $50 that gives the technical info you
need.  Also included are two disks which contains sample drivers, a 6502
cross assembler and loader.  You might want to contact them to see if this
package is still offered.
