Zarkon started a thread in the spanish CPC board at mforos.com about the [[Amstrad Cartridge Identification Device|ACID]] protection of the CPC+ cartridges. This small protection chip is the last part of the CPC which isn’t well known and without this chip it isn’t possible to develop any new cartridges for the CPC 464+, CPC 6128+ or the GX4000.
So if you are able to help with analysation – maybe because you know directly the details of this chip or you have knowledge about electronics – then please have a look at the thread in the spanish CPC board. Most of the entries in this thread are spanish, but you can translate it with Google which makes the thread at least understandable.
