/* Mass-storage, RTC and network dilemma */
*Modern: [[Albireo]], [[ULIfAC]], [[Symbiface 3]] and [[M4 Board]] as they give the CPC a direct file view of the mass-storage instead of a sectors view. So the FAT filesystem does not need to be handled on the CPC itself. It's overall a simpler, more convenient, more future-proof approach. The Symbiface 3 and the M4 Board provide a NetAPI to access the Internet unlike the Albireo and the ULIfAC. But the Symbiface 3 is going overboard with its embedded MP3 player.
The problem is that all 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 Emulator support is as follows:
*Dobbertin HD20, ULIfAC and Symbiface 3 are not supported by emulators
*The Symbiface II or X-Mass IDE/PATA is emulated by WinAPE, WinCPC, Arnold, Virtual CPC, ACE and Caprice Forever
