MegaROM board (http://www.octoate.de/wp/2010/10/17/megarom-board/)
17 October 2010, 8:38 pmBryce released another great hardware project for the CPC. This time it is a ROM extension board which uses one big EPROM (1 MBit or 2 MBit) to store your ROMs instead of using small 16kb EPROMs, which are hard to find nowadays. With an 1 MBit EPROM you can use 8 16kb ROMs and with an 2 MBit you can use 16 16kb ROMs.
This is an DIY project, which means, that Bryce won't build a batch of them, but you can get all files (schematics, board) and a description of it from the MegaROM (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/MegaROM) article in the CPCWiki. You can discuss this project in this thread (http://cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php/topic,1464.0.html) of the CPCWiki board.
