/* 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. As the Internet stack was never to be implemented on the CPC during its commercial lifetime anyway, does historical pretense matter for that kind of stuff?
Pushing to the limit this tough question: should we lock the CPC forever with its 1993 capabilities? Or should we accept that the CPC can read mp3 files, run Far Cry and play 4K x265 videos on an external graphics cardand CPU?
Or is there some middle ground we can agree on as a community? Is the X-Mass ok? Is the M4 Board ok? Is the Symbiface 3 mp3 ok? Is the v9990 graphics card ok?
