07h AMSDOS (bytes in 8000h..BFFFh in the Aleste's 64K EPROM)
All other values 01h..02h, 04h..06h, 08h..FFh do select BASIC, too.
 
The BOOTMENU is an aleste specific ROM bank. BASIC and AMSDOS are 1:1 same as in CPC6128. The BIOS (lower ROM bank) is almost same as in CPC6128 (only the Startup Message and Printer handling are modified). For details, see:
* [[Media:AlesteBiosDisassembly.txt]] - Disassembly of differences between CPC6128 and Aleste BIOS
* [[Media:AlesteBootmenuRomBank3.asm]] - Original source code for BOOTMENU (Upper ROM Bank 3)
== PPI 8255 ==
The built-in RS232 port can be used to connect a serial mouse.
* See [[Serial RS232 Mouse]] for details on the protocol
