* Updates to the CPC-Booster software are available as 3 zip files (dated 2 Feb 05, 5 July 05, 28 July 05), though the latest source code appears to be from December 2010. Antitec's web site says to apply them in order. Each update also includes Antitec's terminal application.
* The updates are also saved here: [[File: update1.zip|update1.zip]] [[File: update2.zip|update2.zip]] [[File: update3.zip|update3.zip]]
* One disc containing all four updates for CPC-Booster+ [[File:CPCBPCUPD.DSK]]

* The source code is also kept (and maintained?) with the Linux CPC SDK here: [https://code.google.com/p/cpcsdk/source/browse/trunk/resources/CPC_BOOSTER CPC Booster Plus at CPC SDK]
* A local copy of the source code/schematics is also preserved here: [[File:CPCBoosterPlus.zip|CPCBoosterPlus.zip]]
* There are also some files available here (don't appear particularly useful): [http://cpcrulez.fr/hardware-cpcboosterserie-interface_cpcbooster_plus.htm CPC Booster on cpcrulesCPCrulez.fr]
* This is the zip file from that page: [[File:CPCBooster.zip|CPCBooster.zip]]
* Latest dated source code is December 2010
* The schematic is not complete, but the PCB layout is

The MiniBooster is similar to the CPC Booster, with these differences:
 
The MiniBooster lacks all the CPCBooster+ "older" connectors to reduce the board size and to be more versatile.
Instead, it mainly provides a blutooth socket and a 16-pin connector that allow to add some modules and expansions like:
 
* Serial's USB, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, WIFI... TTL Modules.
* SPI's SD Card, RTC, LCD... Custom expansions.
 
Also note:
* INP(&FF00) returns 170. (It is a booster board)
* INP(&FF01) returns 238 on a MiniBooster, but 85 on a CPCBooster.
 
That allows to know witch board is used and properly set the device speed and supported features.
The CPU of the Mini-Booster is more quick than the CPU in the CPC Booster.
