Changes

The [[CPC]] computer range can be devided in different classes, . This makes sense to tell in quick which is only kind of CPC and hardware-expansions are needed for a very specific personal opinioncertain application. This definitions are taken from the [[FutureOS]] handbook and must kept in agreement with that please to omit confusion.

'''Possible Defined space classes are:'''

*Class 3 CPC: 128 KB RAM, 3,5" or 5drive,25" external 2. drive: 80 tracks, doublesided (DS)*Class 4 CPC: 576 320 KB RAM, 3,5" or 5drive,25" external 2. drive: 80 tracks, DS*Class 5 CPC: 576 KB RAM, Rom Box, 3,5" or 5drive,25" external 2. drive: 80 tracks, DS*Class 6 CPC: 576 KB RAM, 512KB Rom3" drive, IDE Interface2. drive (80 trks, DS), 20 MB hard-disc*Class 7 CPC: 576 -2048 KB RAM, 512KB Rom2-4 internal and 2-4 external drives, IDE Interface, Mouse, RTC, RS232hard-disc with at least 20 MB*Class 8 CPC: 576-4096KB 4096 KB RAM, 512KB Rom2-8 drives, Ethernethard-disc with at least 20 MB*Class 9 CPC: 576-4096 KB RAM, IDE Interface2-8 drives, Mouse, RTChard-disc with at least 128 MB

These classes donOnly the amount of space that can be used to read/write defines the CPC class. EPROM space (read only!) doesn't make much sense, but this influence the CPC class. Serial / network I/O is disregarded, because it works independent of memory and disc space. However a Wiki letter can be added to define communication device classes. '''Defined communication classes are:'''*Class A CPC: Communication with up to 19.200 Baud*Class B CPC: Communication with up to 38.400 Baud*Class C CPC: Communication with up to 76.800 Baud*Class D CPC: Communication with up to 100.000 Baud Example: A 6128 with two disc drives, 512 KB expansion RAM and when someone writes "an serial interface from Amstrad would be: Class 5A. This concept was developed by [[TFM]] of [[FutureSoft]]. Please do not change" you should recognizeCPC classes without previous discussion and agreement, that there is something wrong with since other pages of the articleCPC Wiki point to this definitions. [[Category:Amstrad Products]][[Category:CPC History]][[Category:Definitions|*]][[Category:FutureOS]][[Category:Hardware|*]][[Category:Programming]][[Category:Software]]
