Changes
== Vortex RAM Expansion == Vortex implemented their own version of CP/M for the CPC and also provided patches for a system disc with a file called PATCH.COM on it, which patched Amstrad's CP/M to 2.2 so that CP/M could use their memory RAM expansionto get 63KB TPA.
There were also third party implementations which supported the Vortex RAM Expansion such as [[RCPM]].

The X-Drive came with a system disc containing XPATCH30.COM which patched Amstrad's CP/M 3.0, adding support for the 80-track Vortex disc format. The system disc itself can be modified to boot CPM 2.2 or 3.0.
