Changes
* A DOM is recommended as it is the only device I have tested the uIDE prototype with. Unfortunately, I can't guarantee that specific Compact Flash cards will be compatible but if you let me know what works and what doesn't we can build a compatibility list on this page.
== Prices Drivers ==At present there is a driver for the PCW which is a FID ("Field Installable Driver") file. To install it, simply copy it to your boot disk (USER 0). Not all CP/M Plus versions support FIDs though (notably the earlier ones). I will be porting this driver to the 6128 in due course, but AMSDOS is not supported. I may need assistance with this!
The driver's capabilities are:
* Detection of the uIDE card, unloads if not found.
* Provides 6 CP/M drives C: D: E: F: G: H:. This is a limitation of the Amstrad CP/M Plus memory map and there may be a workaround (no promises though).
* Is compatible with the CP/M Plus M: drive.
* Provides additional drives under Locoscript - I: J: K: L:.
* Each drive is 8MB in size, and supports 512 directory entries shared between the 16 user areas.
* A formatter and some IDE test utilities are provided as part of the driver suite. Use the formatter to prepare a CF card or DOM for use. Use the test utility to verify that your uIDE is connected properly and the DOM or CFD card is compatible.
The provisional PCW driver suite can be downloaded here: [[File:Xdriver PCW suite 0.1.zip|framed|All Board BOM]].
== Prices ==
This is a summary of the prices I have posted to the forum so far.
