== Software differences ==
The base system has 32k of ROM:
* Locomotive BASIC v1.1 rom (identical to BASIC rom in English CPC6128) (16k) * A modified operating system rom from an English CPC6128 (16k) *
* Differences are:
* - Different start-up message * - Computer names (Schneider, Awa, Solavox etc) removed. * - Initialisation code for the Z8536 CIO (see details below) * - Test program transfer (see details below)
I believe most software will run, but I have not been able to test this, but programs that use the following may be broken:
* Programs that rely on exact Interrupt mechanism of the CPC6128 * Programs that call direct into the operating system rom (these may work, because the changes to the operating system rom are minor) * Programs that rely on a unofficial hardware feature (I do not know of all hardware details, so I cannot say the level of compatibility)
== Hardware differences ==
* The colour palette is not cleared to black on reset * The Amstrad unofficial mode (bit 1=bit 0=1 of Gate Array mode register) does not exist, black is output.
This section describes the known hardware differences. This information is not definitive. I do not know all differences,
