The '''CPC TREX''' consists of the TOBIFLEX Amstrad CPC turbo core and the reconfigurable T-REX C1 board by TerasIC, which is based on the Cyclone FPGA by Altera. This is not one more CPC software emulator but something like a real hardware CPC rebuilded rebuilt with FPGA technology, which also includes some new features and possibilities. The TREX C1 board is very small, an industrial production and it contains connectors to all the standard PC periphery like VGA monitors, PS/2 input devices and CF cards.
The '''CPC TREX''' consists of the Amstrad CPC turbo core written by [[TobiFlex]] and the reconfigurable T-REX C1 board by TerasIC, which is based on the Cyclone FPGA by Altera. The TREX C1 board is very small, an industrial production and it contains connectors to all the standard PC periphery like VGA monitors, PS/2 input devices and CF cards. The Amstrad CPC turbo core of the CPC TREX is based on Tobiflex [[TobiFlex]]s' [[C-OneONE]] turbo core, which has been developed for the C-One board. It contains two Z80 cpus implemented in the FPGA, which are running at the same time. The first CPU runs a special version of [[SymbOS]] to control the rom and disc configuration of the Amstrad CPC. The CPC itself is running on the second CPU.
== Features ==
* serial RS232 connector
* USB connector (used for FPGA and flash memory updates)
== CPC TREX starter ==
[[Image:trexstarter.gif|thumb|320px|CPC TREX start menu]]
The CPC TREX starter written by [[Prodatron]] is needed for booting the CPC TREX machine. Automatically after switching on the TREX it is started together with a special [[SymbOS]] version, which has been adapted for the native mode of the CPC TREX. It allows the selection of the favourite CPC type, ROM configuration and DSK files. The starter menu will load the files into the memory and switches to the Clone CPC (4MHz) or Turbo CPC (24MHz). To change a disc again, it is possible to go back to the menu and choose other DSK or even ROM files.
