HACK-IT
"Hack"
interface voor de Amstrad CPC (V7.0). Deze interface maakt het mogelijk
om het CPC-Geheugen te onderzoeken. De interface wordt verkocht met een
kabel.
De interface
is volledig compatibel met de moeder X4
interface en kunt u het gebruiken, zonder
de noodzaak om een andere kabel te kopen.
Als u een kabel
aan wilt sluiten op uw Amstrad, kies het juiste model. Het is niet opgenomen
in het basismodel.
Deze interface
is precies hetzelfde als de originele "Hack-IT"
interface van Siren Software 1978, en u kunt er dezelfde dingen mee doen.
=================================================
"Hack IT" interface
for Amstrad CPC (V7.0). This interface allows you to explore CPC Memory.
The interface is sold with any cable. The interface is fully compatible
with mother X4 interface,
you can use it without the need to buy another cable. If you want a cable
to connect to your Amstrad, please choose the right model. It is not included
with the base model. This interface is exactly the same as the original
"Hack-IT"
device, and allows you to do the same things.
Your CPC's memory
exploration interface. Black, sober, it is nevertheless adorned with a
small push button (classic) and a metal switch. It connects to the usual
extension port, and allows, thanks to the connector located on its back
side, the addition of another card, in a process now well known. THE HACKER
allows you to stop loading or running a program, and then read, edit or
save its contents.
The device contains
a disassembler, memory editor etc. and so is useful for those wanted to
find ways to modify / debug software on the Amstrad CPC.

- MIRAGE IMAGER MKII
Een add-on waarmee
u elk programma kunt stilzetten en op een schijf kunt opslaan.
Gemaakt door Mirage
Micro Ltd .
Het apparaat was
ook beschikbaar voor de ZX Spectrum , deze versie heette de "Mirage Microdriver"
en kon gegevens opslaan op tape of op Sinclair's "Microdrive"; een externe
high-speed tapedrive.
De eerste Spectrum-versie
werd in 1985 uitgebracht, hoewel er in 1986 een latere versie werd uitgebracht
(zie Crash Issue 25, link hieronder).
De CPC-versie
werd uitgebracht in 1986.
Het hulpprogramma
kan een back-up maken van de RAM-inhoud (inclusief CPU-registers die in
de RAM zijn gedrukt), maar in tegenstelling tot Multiface II , kan het
geen back-up maken van read-only I / O-poorten zoals CRTC (vram-adres /
grootte) en Gate Array (schermkleuren) - de meegeleverde software maakt
het mogelijk om die waarden handmatig te manipuleren (dit zou alleen nodig
zijn bij programma's die een niet-standaard CRTC-waarde gebruiken, of die
directe I / O gebruiken om kleuren aan te passen).

CPC
- MULTIFACE II
Clever name,
Multiface. An interface that does many things. Also completely untrue:
the Multiface wasn’t an interface like a serial interface, which let you
plug new kinds of gubbins into your CPC. It just sat on the back of your
CPC and did its thing. Singular.
But that was
enough. Because the thing in question, for many CPC users, was a godsend.
Loading games from tape is tedious: many games were available only on tape,
or on disc at an extortionate price: many CPC users had disc drives. Ergo,
why not think of an easy way of getting games from tape to disc?
Romantic Robot
did. The Multiface took an exact copy of what was in memory at the present
moment, and saved it to disc, ready for you to reload at your leisure.
All you had to do was press a little red button then select ‘Save’ from
the menu that appeared.
It was such a
good idea that at least three other companies had the same plan, and brought
out similar-sounding devices: Datel's Action Replay, Evesham Micros' Disc
Wizard, and Mirage Imager. In one of those happy coincidences of commerce
and merit, the Multiface was the best of the lot, and also the one which
survived.
The CLONE
interface works with both Amstrad's version. You can select the version
with an on-board switch.
The interface
is sold with any cable. The interface is fully compatible with mother
X4 interface, you can use it without the need
to buy another cable.
If you want a
cable to connect to your Amstrad, please choose the right model. It is
not included with the base model.
This interface
is exactly the same as the original MF2 device, and allows you to do the
same things. |

- DK'TRONICS SILICONDISC
- OMSCHAKELBAAR >> GEHEUGEN - SILICONDISC
- SWITCHABLE >>>>> MEMORY - SILICONDISC
The Memory Expansion
and Silicon Disc from Dk'tronics are both RAM expansions. The Silicon Disc
additionally comes with a ROM which contains RAM-Disc functions.
Dk'tronics produced
2 different Memory Expansions, a 64K and a 256K which were compatible with
all (non Plus) CPCs.
The expansions
meant that CP/M Plus and CP/M 2.2 (with the use of a utility supplied)
could both access a 'massive' 61K TPA.
Silicon Discs
These were intended
to be used as RAM disc, made in 64K and 256K versions, too.

CPC
- VORTEX MEMORYCARD SP64-512KB
|
VORTEX
MEMORY CARDS
RAM expansions
card from Vortex, mounted between CPC464 mainboard and CPU/Gate Array.
It won't fit on CPC664, CPC6128, or CPC+ boards. The card is not compatible
with the standard dk'tronics-sytle Standard Memory Expansions.
Sold in different
sizes of RAM as SP 64, SP 128, SP 256, SP 320 and SP 512. Resulting in
a maximum RAM size of 576K (64K internal, plus 512K external). The smaller
SP64-SP320 versions can be upgraded to SP512 by mounting additional RAM
chips in the spare sockets. There is also a cut-down version, SP 64/M,
which contains only 64K RAM, no BOS ROM, and which isn't upgradable.
The expansion
was available directly from Vortex (germany) and also from Screens Microcomputers
(uk).
Usable under
BASIC and CP/M:
BASIC:
BOS (Banked Operating
System) RSX drivers are included on EPROM (mapped to ROM bank 6). Providing
following features under BASIC:
Banked BASIC
programs (using |GOTO, |GOSUB, |RETURN commands, for example: |GOTO,bank,line)
Pseudo Floppy
(unlike a RAMDISK, this "floppy" can be accessed only via special RSX commands)
Debugger (aka
Z80 Monitor) activated via |MON (v1.0) or |XM (v2.1)
Printer Spooler
Plus some extras
like |FAST and |SLOW
Note: Some of
the RSX commands are always available, some only after typing |BOS.
CP/M:
PATCH.COM is
included on cassette. After copying the file from cassette to disk, it
can be used to upgrade normal CP/M to support the expansion RAM.
Providing
following CP/M features:
62K TPA
RAMDISK (unlike
the BASIC Pseudo Floppy, this acts like a regular disk drive)
Printer Spooler
Note:There
is a bug/problem with COPY.COM no longer working after installing PATCH.COM.
A bugfix is listed in the appendix of the manual. |
