/* Mass-storage, RTC and network dilemma */
*M4 Board is [https://unidos.cpcscene.net/doku.php?id=en%3Aannexes the fastest measured solution for mass-storage on the CPC]. It is a very complete and convenient solution with NTP-based RTC and Wifi network and very future-proof. But that means sacrificing historical pretense as the M4 board does all the hard work regarding the filesystem and network protocols for the CPC. But support for the Internet stack could not have happened during the commercial lifetime of the CPC anyway, so does historical pretense matter for that kind of stuff?
The dilemma problem we are facing is that these multiple mass-storage, RTC and network solutions are fragmenting the already small CPC community which mean having less compatible CPC software and bringing complexity and confusion to users and developers. A winning solution will have to be picked to move Currently, the community forward. Currentlychoice is as follows:
*The M4 Board is emulated by CPCemu
*The Albireo is emulated by ACE and Caprice Forever
*The Symbiface II or X-Mass IDE/PATA is emulated by WinAPE, WinCPC, ACE and Caprice Forever
* Symbiface 3 and Dobbertin HD20 are not supported by emulators
