# The Trump Card

The Trump Card is simply the most useful single addition you get for the Sinclair QL. It combines a disk interface, 768 kilobyte RAM expansion, Toolkit II for SuperBASIC extensions, a screen dump, static and dynamic ramdisks and a dynamic printer buffer. When you consider that even the lowest cost 512 Kb RAM expansion and a disk interface will cost at least $250, and Toolkit II costs $70, the Trump Card is a bargain at $309.95. The entire unit only sticks out about three inches from the expansion port side of the QL, so it’s compact.
