Up for sale is a rare, vintage Central Point Software Copy II PC Option Board 8-bit ISA expansion card. With Original Ribbon Cable. Looks New to me but unsure so listing it as Used. This legendary piece of computing history from 1986 acts as a hardware-based floppy disk duplication and archiving tool, allowing vintage IBM PC/XT/AT and compatible systems to read and replicate flux-level magnetic disk properties.
This specific board features the highly sought-after "Assembled in Hong Kong" text on the PCB, confirming its manufacturing origins by contract partner VTech (Video Technology)
before Central Point brought production domestic.Product Specifications:* Manufacturer: Central Point Software (Designed in Oregon / Manufactured by VTech Hong Kong)* Interface Type: 8-Bit ISA Slot

The PCB is clean with crisp text, straight gold contacts, and solid soldered joints. Please examine the high-resolution photos carefully to judge the physical condition for yourself.
* Included Items: Includes the 8-bit ISA Option Board card and the attached dual-connector floppy ribbon cable assembly as pictured. No software, manuals, or original packaging are included.
