/* 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?
*ULIfAC is the newest one. Seems very much like an M4 Board, but not compatible. Don't know what it's bringing to the table that is not covered by the M4 Board.
 
Pushing to the limit this tough question: should we lock the CPC forever with its expansions from 1993? Or should we accept that the CPC can read mp3 files, run Far Cry and play 4K x265 videos on a modern graphics card and CPU expansion with a second monitor?
 
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?
The problem is that these multiple solutions are incompatible and are fragmenting the CPC community. That means we have less compatible CPC software, and we get needless complexity and confusion for users and developers. Currently, the choice is as follows:
