Don't think people are dumb, because they have GB on PC and not MB on CPC. :-\

The difference are all the softwares that requiring memory. That all. A thousand of users with 512K for real and on emulators (up to 4MB), and nothing done to fill them. No need to search false arguments to have more RAM.  Think to use mass storage too.

What was done on MSX with 512K, and with 32MB ?

I've added a new version of ROM.BIN file: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pf78urbcbgg0ntx1gdvuk/ROM_binary_for_rev7.zip?rlkey=am06imhws9jz1rmj5wveynnhw&dl=0
You should use this version of ROM.BIN file, if you have the latest rev7 firmware on USIfAC II.

@Audronic ,it's the main program that copies roms to board's SRAM, you can find it inside the zip file with the utilities for the board:

So, if you have a USIfAC II with rev7 fw connected to the RAM/ROM board, you should replace the rom.bin file with the new version.

Oops

Sorry John
I completely missed the Stand alone RAM-ROM Board that can be used with the CPC464
I never purchased one ?

Thanks for the update anyway

I've uploaded an update of rom.bin file, you should use this one if you have a USIfAC II with the new rev.7c firmware

Hi! I'm trying to load a dsk in a 464 using 256K Ram+2X Rom board and USIfAC II (6g). With all the RAM_ROM BOARD content in a USB I follow this steps:

- run"6128 (changes mode to USIfAC II Enhanced (6g) + 256Kb Ram + 2x Rom BOARD -> BASIC 2.1
- |mg,"TEST.DSK" -> Ready
- |FDC -> Ready
- cat -> And it throws Syntax error


Am I doing something wrong?

ΙIf you want to access dsk image directly using |FDC, you must use "464AMSDO" file and not "6128".Also, if you have parados dsk image, you can use "464PARAD" file. These 2 files, mount amsdos/parados rom and switch to dual mode in order to have direct access to dsk images as with 6128. The "6128" file is for mounting Basic and firmware roms of CPC 6128, but as board supports only 2 roms, you can't have amsdos rom too.
