== Reserved ROM Numbers ==
There are two special ROM positions: ROM 0 is reserved for Basic (known as a type &80 ROM - Foreground ROM) and ROM 7 is reserved for the Disc Operating System - Not present on a 464, AMSDOS on a 6128.
The CPC464 has one internal upper ROM (ROM 0) which can be overwritten by a ROMBoard to replace Basic. The 6128 has internal ROMs 0 and 7 (0 can be overwritten but not 7). In German CPC6128 both, 0 and 7, can be overwritten.The CPC Plus 6128plus series can overwrite both 0 and 7.
The Plus CPCs don't have internal ROMs, it was "out-sourced" to the Cartridge. The cartridge is actually situated in ROM positions 128 onwards, but the ASIC in the Plus re-maps the cartridge ROMs to 0 and 7 for compatibility.

A further ROM is present inside the CPC. This Firmware ROM is in all CPCs, but is mapped to a different area of memory and also doesn't have a ROM Number. It's also possible to overwrite this ROM externally, however this can't be done with a standard ROMBoard, only with a Lower ROM expansion such as the [[FO-DOS|FO-DOS]] interfaceor the [[LowerROM|LowerROM Board]].
== Available Download ROMs ==
The following is a list ROM images available For detailed information and download links for the CPC. This does not include cartridge available ROMs, which cannot be used in a standard ROMBoard or printer ROMs which are also of no use in a ROMBoard. Further information regarding cartridge ROMs can be found please refer to the [[Plus_System_CartridgeROM_List|here]] and printer ROMs can be found [[Amstrad/Schneider_Printer_Resources|hereROM Software List]].
For more detailed information There are also specific pages on the following ROMs you can also refer wiki which relate to the available [[ROM_TablePlus System Cartridge|ROM Software TablePlus System Cartridge]]ROMs and [[Amstrad/Schneider_Printer_Resources|Amstrad Printer]] ROMs.
