I think it was a Steve Ciarcia project. I had one, I remember connecting to it via a program I think, and you could also use the ram on the system as a RAM disk on the PC side. Can’t remember much else. I did write several assembly programs for it.
anyone else have one of these?
 
No, but around 1983-87 there were a bunch of "different CPU" boards for the 8 bit ISA bus, including such stuff as NS16032. I have an old Palantir board with a 68010 on it and 4MB of memory. I don't have a clue on how to interface to it.
 
The Steve Ciarcia card for the IBM PC was called the TRUMP card.

I don’t have one, but was looking for one for ages. However, the software also proved elusive, so would have not been very useful in the end...

Olivetti made a Z8000 board for the M24 computers, I believe. This was to run PCOS software used by the M20's that ran on a Z8000.
