Nova

24 bytes added, 5 April
*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 [[Standard Memory Expansions|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.

== Ports ==
*R = READ bit (Setting the READ bit to a '1' halts updates to the registers)
*W = WRITE bit (Setting the WRITE bit to a '1' halts updates to the registers. The user can then load them with the correct day, date, and time data in 24-hour BCD format. Resetting the WRITE bit to a '0' then transfers the values of all registers to the actual counters and allows normal operation to resume)

== Software ==
And it can be accessed directly from BASIC. No RSX required.
