Protext does not, but Maxam does. And others too  ;)

Hello,

The website asked witch package peoples want.
For peoples that not give me the information, I have sent an email to know that. (download, or 3"1/2 + paper or 3" + paper)
I send the 3" package by default if peoples not answer to my email.

I suggest that if you received nothing, it's because I have the information "download".
Now, you have my address to contact me, I answer fast and help w/o problem.

If you want them, let me know I will send you that next week.
Thank you,

  TotO.

Oops I guess that was me then. Still the system works as I got the mail and requested accordingly.

Can I ask a few questions as a currently non hardware owner, but somebody that would at some point like to make a very large game using a 512k Rom X-Mem board


Am I correct in thinking this fits directly like a game cartridge might on another system directly onto the 464/6128 connector (I assume the + would require an additional connector)... meaning we had a base cartridge that costs just 20 euros. Any hope of a case?


If after that somebody has a PlayCity card we could take advantage of it but that would need the Mother 4 also.


Cheers

the xmem has a 2x25 pin connector, and as such use on any CPC needs an adaptor. Either edge or centronics connector to 2x25 way. As mine has not yet arrived I can not comment on if the 2x25 connectors as male or female.

If the  CPC hardware is designed to take up to 256 external ROM ( theoretically ), then we can use 8 X-MEM boards ?
That would also bring us to 4mb of RAM, right ?
I would love to see such a "train" setup: two 4XMother and 8 X-MEM :)

That's not how it works. If you take the same kind of expansion twice it will cover the same RAM or ROM region twice. There is no gain.
But wait for next year... or X-MAS. Some small wishes may come true.  :)


@FGBrain: Glad that your problems are solved and everything is fine now.  :)

BTW: The ROManager for the FlashGordon can also be used for the X-MEM with SST Flash Chip. But not for Winbond, such a version will be made soon.  :)

If the Amsdos release is on the same version as well I'll test it here, my X-Mem is SST equipped.

At the moment only the FutureOS version is ready to go. As soon as I know that it works I will also update the version for Amsdos.

If you want to check with X-MEM (SST) please have a try... Start the "-R" file, Docs are in "-ROM.TXT"

Your help is appreciated  :)

EDIT: Update added, there was the most important thing missing in non-German language interface. Sorry dear single downloader, please download again.  :)

I can't test, I have sent all the X-MEM for peoples... (mine too)  :-\

YES... 100 X-MEM boards was already build since it is available. 1 CPC user got it each day!!!  :o
Without counting all emulator users, that mean many peoples hope to get new softwares for the CPC, using those capabilities.

Nobody can ignore us, now!!!  8)

TotO - I was just wondering if I could order an X-Mem board with an edge connector ribbon cable at all? I only ask, as I cannot see an option to do that on the website?

Hello CPC_Fan,

Originally, the fact is that I don't want to spend my time building cables with rare connectors for many peoples that will not deserve my projects... And going to miss connectors for peoples ordering for MotherX4. (that allow to plug 4 boards with only one cable)
Understand that is why I have made this choice. :)

Now... I'm going to see if I can do that for peoples ordering only 1 board. (next, MotherX4 will be provided w/o if needed)
I will let you know.
