TFM released the first version of his ROM manager for BASIC. With this tool you can load, manage and save single ROMs. Further you can save and restore a backup of all 32 ROMs of the SYMBiFACE II. You can park, unpark, clear, test, shift, swap and copy ROMs. The test fuction also allows to check and to adapt the checksum. It has a language interface for Dutch, English, French, German and Spanish. You can run it with every CPC464/664/6128 which is attached to a SYMBiFACE II.

You can download the file at the bottom of this posting and in the download section of this page.

A new batch (25 pieces) of Symbiface II interfaces for the Amstrad CPC is now available for ordering. If you are interested you can send a mail to Prodatron: jmika@prodatron.net (you need JavaScript to see the mail address).

The Symbiface II is the ultimate extension for your CPC:

  • IDE interface (to connect a harddisk to the CPC)
  • 512kb RAM expansion
  • 512kb rewriteable ROM
  • PS/2 mouse connector
  • Real-time clock

Be quick to get one :-) .

 

Nilquader had some free time during the Z-Fest and patched the game Arkanoid so that it now works with a mouse which is connected with the Symbiface II. You can download it from the CPC Forum: http://www.cpc-forum.de/phpbb/download.php?id=106.

 

Prodatron received the remaining Symbiface II cards from Dr.Zed so ordering a Symbiface II card is now possible. He will set up an order form on the Symbiface II homepage. Until it is set up, you can also directly order it from him per email.

 

Today, Prodatron announces that the second Symbiface II batch is in production and will be finished until the end of next week. You will be able to order it after the completion of the second batch. Here is Prodatron’s message from the SymbOS mailinglist:

Hi again,

I am glad to be able to announce, that the missing SYMBiFACE II cards
of the second batch will be finished soon. Several people already got
their new cards during the last weeks, and a few other pre-orders have
been served, too.
The remaining pieces of the 2nd batch will be produced during the next
month and can be ordered then.

Please note:
- some incorrect information about a higher price have been published,
but the price didn’t change and is still 120 Euros (shipping costs
included).
- same source mentioned a so-called “CPC-IDE II” several times. Such a
thing has never been produced and doesn’t exist, so you can ignore
this misinformation, too.
- we hope to have a first full-featured exemplar of the SYMBiFACE 3
card finished in december. As already told on the RetroEuskal 2007,
this card will include at least the ethernet module with an onboard
TCP/IP stack, an MP3 decoder and a quite powerful USB controller.

CU,
Prodatron
