Looking for Turbocharger or PowerDisk, disk cache for 512K

[Dog Cow]

I'm looking for some software from 1985-1986 that used additional RAM in the Mac 512K as a disk cache: Turbocharger by Nevins Microsystems, and PowerDisk.

I have the manual for Turbocharger, but no software. :-(

Hi @Dog Cow

Just got in an unopened copy of Turbo Charger. Will be archiving it soon!

I just picked up the hardware equivalent to this.

Thanks for the photo — I designed the package. Glad you found the software!

That's amazing! I'm rather fond of the package design. Do you remember anything notable about the project way-back-when?
