/* Furthur ASIC Information */
The ASIC custom chip comprises:
* integration of printer port electronics,* functionality of the RAM management PAL,* functionality of the CRTC 6845,* functionality of the 8255 PPI* functionality of the "Gate array" (the Gate Array of the standard CPC)* enhanced features providing Sprites, Raster Interrupts, smooth scrolling and DMA driven sound. 
When the ASIC special features have not been enabled, the CPC+ acts almost identically to the old CPC series. There are however a few minor differences which cause software incompatibilities. But if these problems are considered software can be modified to run on all CPC/CPC+ computers without any problems.
