Title: The CPC MegaFlashROM
Post by: TFM on 23:39, 10 February 11

Hi all :)

May you've heart some rumors about the MegaFlashROM. We at FutureSoft planned to create a cheap and reliable expansion card for the CPC. ;D

Bryce is doing the hardware, which consists of a single sided PCB that contains a 256 KB sized FlashROM. Therefore this card will provide 16 pseudo ROMs of 16 KB each. The ROM numbers are 0 to 15.

Since Flash is used the pseudo ROMs can be comfortably programmed directly using your CPC. It takes only a piece of a second :o
The management software is currently under developpment and a _NOT TESTED_ beta version can be downloaded at my homepage (www.futureos.de (http://www.futureos.de)), see downloads.

The developpment of the hardware will take some more time, but it's getting better and better. ;D . We keep you updated...

As far as the pure "parts price" is concerned, it will be around the same price as the MegaROM.

And if you find some "used" chips on a PC motherboard... ;)
