I'm new to the scene, but I'm interested in the X-MEM, should be a nice companion to the HxC that will arrive soon. I'm a bit confused at how to plug it to the Amstrad proper. You need the additional ribbon cable, right? And you only need one ribbon cable if you get the MotherX4 and more addons afterwards.
I was playing with the new firmware in WinApe (Is there a thread for the new firmware? I couldn't find any) and I have to say it is brilliant. But there is one thing that I wish could be changed. Correcting the keyboard so that the | key prints | instead of ù on the screen is good. However, ù should have been kept its function as an alternate of |, if you get what I mean? Pressing | and ù correctly displays | and ù, and the commands |cpm and ùcpm should both work. Now, only |cpm works and I have to say 1) it messes with 30 years of ingrained keyboard use and 2) having a direct access to | without using SHIFT was freaking awesome.
