Mirage Imager

An addon that enables you to freeze any program and store it to disc. Made by Mirage Microcomputers Ltd. The device was also available for the ZX Spectrum, this version was called the "Mirage Microdriver", and saved data on Sinclair's "Microdrive"; an external high-speed tape drive. The Spectrum version was released in 1985, the CPC version in 1986.

The tool can backup RAM contents (including CPU registers pushed in RAM), but, unlike Multiface II, it cannot backup read-only I/O ports like CRTC (vram address/size) and Gate Array (screen colors) - the included software allows to manipulate that values manually (this would be only required with programs that use nonstandard CRTC value, or that use direct I/O to modify colors).
