*For development tools: here the idea is precisely to NOT be [[Standard Memory Expansions|dktronic's compatible]]. You can load some code into the RAM and have it available without interference on the CPC state. Very useful if you want to debug some other code.
UniDOS automatically uses Nova to avoid main memory usage and ensure a much better AMSDOS compatibility [https://unidos.cpcscene.net/doku.php?id=en%3Amanuel_n%C5%93uds Source]. It can also be used to implement [[Albireo]] mouse support in old games without requiring conventional RAM space.
