== Various files ==
English version: [[Media: Xfer 1.0.1Lower6128_mod.zip | xfer (v1.0.1) 6128 lower rom English]] : Command-line tool that allow to send files and receive from an M4 Board. Possibility to add an AMSDOS header too.
Spanish version: [[Media: Os6128_mod_spanish.zip | 6128 lower rom Spanish]] French version by dxs : [[Media: Lower6128_mod-fr.zip | 6128 lower rom French]] Danish version: [[Media: Os6128_mod_danish.zip | 6128 lower rom Danish]] <gallery>M4config6128.jpg|Example config 6128</gallery> [[CPC M4 xfer tool]] : Command-line tool that allow to send files and receive from an M4 Board. Possibility to add an AMSDOS header too. [[Media: M4 Board relay rom.zip | M4 Board relay rom ]] : When moving M4rom out of position 1-7 / 1-16 it will no longer be initialized, therefore this rom should be placed at rom7 or lower. This is if you want to use 32 roms of XMEM and map M4 romboard after it. You should program the XMEM or other romboard with M4 bootrom in pos 1-7, it will look for M4 rom from 1-127 and initialize it + pass commands through to it. '''NOTE THIS IS OUTDATED, only use for early versions of the M4 firmware (v1.0.1)'''
