QL Trump Card

Post by Citizenfish »

My cousin has offered me a Trump card and I want to make sure I pay him a decent reward. What value are these nowadays?

Hi Citizenfish,
can you specify the Trump Card model? The value may vary

It's boxed with instructions

On the QL connector I see 03 88

Sliding the cover off shows a chip with blue sticker on marked TCt 1.21A

Booting a QL with it in gives me V1.21a 896K RAM

Hi,

There are 2 Miracle versions of the Trump Card, both have 786k and use the 128K on the QL board to give 896K ram.

Trump Card v1 used 24 memory chips, whereas the Trump Card v2 has 6 4 bit memory chips.

Here is a photo of the two boards with the cover removed:
TC1-TC2
TC1-TC2
The Trunp v1, shown on top has the ROM removed.

Friends price £30
Reasonable price, if you add 'nostalgic' value (v1 or v2), max £50 (otherwise better value options from Tetroid etc)
Ebay avarice £80+

Edit added: IMHO !
