== External Disc Interface ==
=== Expansion Port Adapter ===
The CPC464 used a 50pin edge-connector, the CPC464+ uses a 50pin centronics-style connector. The pin-outs are identical, so this problem can be solved with a simple adapter. Equivalent adapters do also exist for the german CPC6128 (which has a 50pin centronics-style expansion port, too): [[Expansion Converter|UK/DE Expansion Converter]].
=== System Cartridge Bug ===
* Remove or disable the ROM in the disc-interface, and cut the ROMDIS signal in the disc-interface (so the built-in AMSDOS in the CPC+ is used instead of the external DOS; this can be done without EPROM burner, but doesn't support 80-track drives)
* Use an external DOS that resides elsewhere than in ROM bank 7 (whereas, the external DOS must undo hooks and memory allocations done by the internal AMSDOS; this should be supported by ParaDOS)
* Insert two opcodes (LD HL,0000h, JP BD16h) at C072h in the DOS ROM (so the CPC+ "returns" from the bootmenu without crashing) (this is supported by ParaDOS, using a similar slightly different method)
* etc.
