Everybody knows the hardware interfance X-Mass by ToTO for Amstrad CPC, a MX4 mass storage expansion with 128 Mb of flash for storing files on your beloved computer.

AcmeDOS is an Amstrad CPC ROM which lets you use the Microsoft FAT file system with the X-Mass.

YANCC (Yet Another Norton Command Clone) is a text interface to manage your files on the X-Mass and the AcmeDOS ROM with an interface not unknown to olders : ms-dos and norton (or linux and midnight commander).





Test of Klax by ChinnyVision

-

A new video by ChinnyVision on Youtube about Klax is available. This reflexion game was out on Amstrad CPC in 1990 by Domark.

He also tests it on Amiga, ST, Sega Master System, ZX Spectrum, MSX and C64.

On an Amstrad CPC+, the only differences are a new title screen, some sound effects and a rather nice fade effect between screens.
