Class definitions of CPC's
The CPC computer range can be devided in different classes. This makes sense to tell in quick which kind of CPC and hardware-expansions are needed for a certain application. This definitions are taken from the FutureOS handbook and must kept in agreement with that please to omit confusion.
Defined memory and drive space classes are:
- Class 0 CPC: 64 KB RAM, no drive (CPC-464)
- Class 1 CPC: 64 KB RAM, 3" drive (CPC-664)
- Class 2 CPC: 128 KB RAM, 3" drive (CPC6128)
