The program ROManager for AMSDOS/BASIC allows the management of the 512 KB Pseudo-ROM of the SYMBiFACE II developed by Dr.Zed. You can load/save all ROMs at once. And every single 16 KB Pseudo-ROM can be managed individually. It was developed by TFM of FutureSoft. You can also use a (bit better, since faster) version for FutureOS, get it here: ROManager
ROManager provides the following functions:
- Park or Unpark ROMs: This is done by manipulating the Byte at &C000. A parked ROM will not be initialized by the AmsDOS.
- Load ROM(s) (one or all 32): This function allows to load a 16 ROM (or 32 ROMs of 16 KB at once) and to install it in the SF2.
- Save ROM(s) (one or all 32): Saves one or all ROMs to disc or hard disc. This feature can be used to create complete backups.
- Copy ROM(s): Allows copying the content of one ROM select (16 KB) to another. You can use this function for example to copy the BASIC ROM to all free ROM selects.
- Shift ROM(s): Shifts a 16 KB ROM from one ROM select to another, the old ROM select will be filled with &FF bytes.
- Erase ROM(s): Deletes a 16 KB ROM with &FF bytes.
- Test ROM(s): Provide information about a ROM like Type, Version, Mark, ROM name etc. Further you can install the correct checksum to a changed ROM. The ROMs at position 0 (usually the BASIC ROM) and 7 (usually AmsDOS) are protected.
Differences to the FutureOS Version
- ROManager_Amsdos runs on all CPC models 464/664/6128(+)
- There is no automatic selection of language like in FutureOS
- The User can select his preferred language in menue options, else it's english
- Load/save of file(s) takes much more time than in FutureOS since AMSDOS routines must be used
- Selecting a file is less comfortable
- However, the full functionallity is granted
