USIfAC II

The Ultimate Interface for Amstrad CPC (a.k.a. ULIfAC), is a modern multi function board, based around PIC 18F47Q10 Microcontrollers, designed and built by ikonsgr from the CPCWIKI Forums.ULIfAC is an evolution of USiFAC II board, with which is 100% compatible.

ULIfAC board expands the functionality of the previous USIfAC II board, by offering many new features on the same board:

• 512Kb Ram Expansion
• 32X Rom Board
• 256Kb Ram Expansion + 16X ROM board on CPC 664/6128
• 192Kb Ram Expansion + 16X ROM board on CPC 464 (Supports CP/M Plus, Symbos, Future OS)
• Automatic Rom mounting upon cold boot!
• Convert instantly a CPC 464 to a CPC 6128 using a simple RSX Command
• Run games/programs from a usb stick or PC Hard Drive (through WiFi module or UART serial cable).Save is also supported, as well as full access to ASCII files.
• Full read/write access of DSK images of both AMSODS and PARADOS formats.
