<div>Not all CPC software has been archived... yet. Over the years, thousands of titles were created for the Amstrad CPC and Plus range of computers so, inevitably, some of it has slipped past the keen eyes of Amstrad user preservation schemes. The purpose of this page is to identify which software is missing from the main archives; in the hope that it can be found and digital copies made of it all, to preserve it for the future.<br />

<div>[[File:Rombo_Redux_board_2018-05-30_15-52.jpg|thumbnail|300px|right|Rombo Redux]]<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
The [[RomboRedux|Rombo Redux]] is a clone of the original [[Rombo_Rombox|Rombo Rombox]], reverse engineered by [[Hangman|The Equalizor]] in 2018.<br />
<br />
The clone has the following improvements from it's older sibling:<br />
* The through hole ICs have been replaced by Surface Mount devices.<br />
* The Bank Select switch has been swapped round to make the bank selection more logical.<br />
* It now has a Reset button on the bottom right.<br />
<br />
However,<br />
* There is no expansion thru connector to keep costs down<br />
* It also doesn't have the Add on Expansion connector the original board had. <br />
<br />
The original boards are virtually impossible to get hold of, let alone the expansion module that was sold at the same time.<br />
<br />
It was originally designed by The Equalizor after his ROMBO stopped working. It has gone through six revisions to get it to the version that is now available for sale.<br />
<br />
== More Information ==<br />
The [[RomboRedux|Rombo Redux]] was release late May, 2018.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Rom Compatibility ==<br />
Like the original Rombo, The [[RomboRedux|Redux]] uses standard DIP28 roms.<br />
* Works with any "standard" 27128 or 2764 ROM, such as:<br />
**27C128 (16 Kilobyte rom)<br />
**27C64 (8 Kilobyte rom)<br />
**AT27C256R (32 Kilobyte write once rom (Only top 16Kilobytes addressable))<br />
* Supports the [[Hackit]] ROM in Slot 0, which in conjunction with the reset button works perfectly.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Known Issues ==<br />
<br />
The following issues have been spotted, however these are NOT unique to the [[RomboRedux]], and have been replicated using other romboards.<br />
<br />
* The [[Utopia|Utopia 1.07]] ROM in the wiki has an 0x80 byte header. Without removing this, the Amstrad will not boot<br />
* [[Utopia|Utopia 1.07]] will not initialise in upper banks 8-15, however is fine in the lower 0-7 range<br />

=== Did you know? ===<br />
<br />
*When the 664 was being developed, Sugar was already looking (and hinting publicly!) at the 6128 <br />
*The [[472|CPC 472]] was a model released in Spain with an extra unaccessible 8 KB of RAM to circumvent a spanish tax that was charged on imported machines with up to 64 KB memory.<br />
<br />
*With a possible total amount of '''832 x 288 pixel''' (576 interlaced) the [[CPC|CPC]] was the 8 bit homecomputer with the highest screen resolution ever.<br />
<br />
*'''OpenOffice''' for Windows/Linux is a direct descendant of [[Star-Division|StarWriter]] for the CPC. <br />
*The transfer speed of the [[CPC Booster|CPC Booster +]] serial interface is faster than a standard '''DSL connection'''.<br />
<br />
*[[SymbOS|SymbOS]] can handle more than '''50 times''' bigger hard discs than MS Windows 95A. <br />
*[[FutureOS|FutureOS]] can load 178 KB in '''9 seconds''' from floppy disc and manages up to '''4 MB''' of RAM <br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Rombo_Redux_board_2018-05-30_15-52.jpg|thumbnail|300px|right|Rombo Redux]]<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
The [[RomboRedux|Rombo Redux]] is a clone of the original [[Rombo_Rombox|Rombo Rombox]], reverse engineered by The Equalizor in 2018.<br />
<br />
The clone has the following improvements from it's older sibling:<br />
* The through hole ICs have been replaced by Surface Mount devices.<br />
* The Bank Select switch has been swapped round to make the bank selection more logical.<br />
* It now has a Reset button on the bottom right.<br />
<br />
However,<br />
* There is no expansion thru connector to keep costs down<br />
* It also doesn't have the Add on Expansion connector the original board had. <br />
<br />
The original boards are virtually impossible to get hold of, let alone the expansion module that was sold at the same time.<br />
<br />
It was originally designed by The Equalizor after his ROMBO stopped working. It has gone through six revisions to get it to the version that is now available for sale.<br />
<br />
<br />
== More Information ==<br />
The [[RomboRedux|Rombo Redux]] was release late May, 2018.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Rom Compatibility ==<br />
Like the original Rombo, The [[RomboRedux|Redux]] uses standard DIP28 roms.<br />
* Works with any "standard" 27128 or 2764 ROM, such as:<br />
**27C128 (16 Kilobyte rom)<br />
**27C64 (8 Kilobyte rom)<br />
**AT27C256R (32 Kilobyte write once rom (Only top 16Kilobytes addressable))<br />
* Supports the [[Hackit]] ROM in Slot 0, which in conjunction with the reset button works perfectly.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Known Issues ==<br />
<br />
The following issues have been spotted, however these are NOT unique to the [[RomboRedux]], and have been replicated using other romboards.<br />
<br />
* The [[Utopia|Utopia 1.07]] ROM in the wiki has an 0x80 byte header. Without removing this, the Amstrad will not boot<br />
* [[Utopia|Utopia 1.07]] will not initialise in upper banks 8-15, however is fine in the lower 0-7 range<br />

<div>[[File:Rombo_Redux_board_2018-05-30_15-52.jpg|thumbnail|300px|right|Rombo Redux]]<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
The [[RomboRedux|Rombo Redux]] is a clone of the original [[Rombo_Rombox|Rombo Rombox]], reverse engineered by The Equalizor in 2018.<br />
<br />
The clone has the following improvements from it's older sibling:<br />
* The through hole ICs have been replaced by Surface Mount devices.<br />
* The Bank Select switch has been swapped round to make the bank selection more logical.<br />
* It now has a Reset button on the bottom right.<br />
<br />
However,<br />
* There is no expansion thru connector to keep costs down<br />
* It also doesn't have the Add on Expansion connector the original board had. <br />
<br />
The original boards are virtually impossible to get hold of, let alone the expansion module that was sold at the same time.<br />
<br />
It was originally designed by The Equalizor after his ROMBO stopped working. It has gone through six revisions to get it to the version that is now available for sale.<br />
<br />
<br />
== More Information ==<br />
The [[RomboRedux|Rombo Redux]] was release late May, 2018.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Rom Compatibility ==<br />
Like the original Rombo, The [[RomboRedux|Redux]] uses standard DIP28 roms.<br />
* Works with any "standard" 27128 or 2764 ROM, such as:<br />
**27C128 (16 Kilobyte rom)<br />
**27C64 (8 Kilobyte rom)<br />
**AT27C256R (32 Kilobyte write once rom (Only top 16Kilobytes addressable))<br />
* Supports the [[Hackit]] ROM in Slot 0, which in conjunction with the reset button works perfectly.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Known Issues ==<br />
<br />
The following issues have been spotted, however these are NOT unique to the [[RomboRedux]], and have been replicated using other romboards.<br />
<br />
* The [[Utopia|Utopia 1.07]] ROM in the wiki has an 0x80 byte header. Without removing this, the Amstrad will not boot<br />
* [[Utopia|Utopia 1.07]] will not initialise in banks upper banks 8-15, however is fine in the lower 0-7 range<br />

* It now has a Reset button on the bottom right.<br />
<br />
However,<br />
* There is no expansion thru connector to keep costs down<br />
* It also doesn't have the Add on Expansion connector the original board had. <br />
<br />
The original boards are virtually impossible to get hold of, let alone the expansion module that was sold at the same time.<br />
<br />
It was originally designed by The Equalizor after his ROMBO stopped working. It has gone through six revisions to get it to the version that is now available for sale.<br />
<br />
== Section 2 ==<br />
Page still very WIP...<br />
<br />
== Rom Compatibility ==<br />
* Works with any "standard" 27128 or 2764 ROM<br />
* Supports the [[Hackit]] ROM in Slot 0, which in conjunction with the reset button works perfectly.<br />
* Tested with the AT27C256R-70PU 32KB using half the capacity<br />
<br />
== Known Issues ==<br />
<br />
The following issues have been spotted, however these are NOT unique to the [[RomboRedux]], and have been replicated using other romboards.<br />
<br />
* The [[Utopia]] 1.07 rom has an 0x80 byte header. Without removing this, the Amstrad will not boot<br />
* [[Utopia|Utopia 1.07]] will not initialise in banks upper banks 8-15, however is fine in the lower 0-7 range<br />

== Description ==<br />
The [[RomboRedux]] is a clone of the original [[Rombo_Rombox|Rombo Rombox]], reverse engineered by The Equalizor in 2018.<br />
<br />
The clone has the following improvements from it's older sibling:<br />
* The through hole ICs have been replaced by Surface Mount devices.<br />
* The Bank Select switch has been swapped round to make the bank selection more logical.<br />
* It now has a Reset button on the bottom right.<br />
