:Indeed you are wrong, all these devices are supported by FutureOS, just connect it to the CPC. You can use them to control the Desktop or for foreigen programs. Naturally the Plus devices (analogue joystick etc.) are only usable by a CPC Plus. All devices can be accesseb by OS routines. See documentation. So I&nbsp;have to correct your updates, because they are just wrong. And by the way I'm waiting for an excuse for your insulting phrases. [[TFM|TFM]].
There is no sense in using a graphic tablet in a sprite converter like GMSK. But if you like this function included I&nbsp;can do that for you. The Grafpad is for entering graphical data or for fast selection. There is a routine (read ROM&nbsp;a documentation) which provide the desired features, it deals with keyboard and different joysticks. Only for the Grafpad there is at the moment no application available, but why don't you make one? [[TFM|TFM]].&nbsp;

::Thanks, that is what I wanted to know. So there is no routine in the OS available for applications to support the grafpad. But this is what I already said. So the grafpad, the mouse etc. can be removed from the "support" list. [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 21:25, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
However, this is NOT the question. FutureOS supports the Graphpad and the other applications. So please let me restore the article now. [[TFM|TFM]].
<br>
:::Not the OS supports it but the file selector module. This doesn't help me in an application at all. Or is Fos only a program starter? If it's only a program starter, then I am fine with the "support" list. Somehow it seems, that you don't know, what an OS is at all? [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 21:25, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
:Well, I think that for calmness' sake at least, if it is indeed supported and working in the file selector we can leave it in... But, GMSK - if there's no use for the Pad in it then why mention it supports it? It can support lemon and strawberry flavors as well, but it just doesn't make any sense... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]]
 
::Is Fos an OS or not?? If it's a program starter then yes, let's leave it. If not, this has to be removed. Or let's rename it from OS to program starter. [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 22:05, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
:Ok, I&nbsp;have to look about the GMSK, maybe we can make it better. Let me look...To the other thing, and this message is now especially for Prodatron: There IS DEFNINTELY a support for the Grafpad, maybe your documentation is too old. Please look at the doc not older than 6 months. FutureOS provides DEFNINITELY all needed routines to work with the Grafpad. And please stop now the senseless deletings! It's ok to make an article better, but deleting helps nobody. [[TFM|TFM]].
<br>The following hardware doesn't seem to be supported as well:

:Again you're wrong. The IDE support is in the IDE ROM&nbsp;of FutureOS. Everybody can download it. The CPC Booster support is maybe few, but no questioin still existing in the core OS ROMs.
