It was such a good idea that at least three other companies had the same plan, and brought out similar-sounding devices: [[Datel]]'s [[Action Replay]], [[Evesham Micros]]' [[Disc Wizard]], and [[Mirage Imager]]. In one of those happy coincidences of commerce and merit, the Multiface was the best of the lot, and also the one which survived.
Now, thanks to Jose Leandro, the hardware specialist of the spectrum, with his famous page :

We can know more about this hardware.
==Revision History==
==Remake==
A project was begun to remake the multiface (by Giant of cpc-hardware). Details are [http://amstrad.eu/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=141 here] (in French). For posterity, all the information and files from that page have been gathered and are available in this zip file: [[File:MF2.zip|MF2.zip]].

For posterity, all the information and files from that page have been gathered and are available in this zip file: [[File:MF2.zip|MF2.zip]]. The reverse engineering of the multiface II is not quite complete, in that two versions of one of the PAL chips are apparently in the wild, and only one has been reverse engineered, and that one not completely. It's unclear what the newer version of the PAL chip is for, but CPC+ support would seem likely. Until the PAL chip is decoded, there is not enough information to complete the remake. Now, thanks to Jose Leandro, the hardware specialist of the spectrum, with his famous page : http://trastero.speccy.org/cosas/JL/JL.htm We can know more about this hardware, all the PAL chips are decoded.
