<u>No</u>n-<u>v</u>ol<u>a</u>tile RAM and [[RTC|Real Time Clock (RTC)]] for Amstrad CPC.This works like RAM, but the content is not erased when the computer is off. All Nova cards come with the 32KB chip.

The main uses of NVRAM is primarily intended as a debugging tool for developers. The real-time clock can be used by filesystem/mass storage to set the correct file creation or modification dates. All Nova cards come with the 32KB chip. are: [https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/amstrad-cpc-hardware/nova-nvram-rtc-for-amstrad-cpc-latest-news-from-pulkotronics/msg205606msg199014/#msg205606 msg199014 Source]*For UniDOS, the goal is to store the configuration of UniDOS in a single place even if you have many storage devices connected to your CPC. Since the card also provides a realtime clock, UniDOS will be able to set the correct file dates in the filesystem.*For development tools: here the idea is precisely to NOT be dktronic's compatible. You can load some code into the RAM and have it available without interference on the CPC state. Very useful if you want to debug some other code.
