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.
'''Defined 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)
*Class 3 CPC: 128 KB RAM, 3" drive, 2. drive: 80 tracks, doublesided (DS)
*Class 4 CPC: 320 KB RAM, 3" drive, 2. drive: 80 tracks, DS
*Class 5 CPC: 576 KB RAM, 3" drive, 2. drive: 80 tracks, DS
*Class 6 CPC: 576 KB RAM, 3" drive, 2. drive (80 trks, DS), 20 MB hard-disc
*Class 7 CPC: 2048 KB RAM, 2-4 internal and 2-4 external drives, hard-disc with at least 20 MB
*Class 8 CPC: 4096 KB RAM, 2-8 drives, hard-disc with at least 20 MB
Only the amount space that can be used to read/write defines the CPC class. EPROM space (read only!) doesn't influence the CPC class.
This concept was developped by [[TFM]] of [[FutureSoft]]. Please do not change CPC classes without previous discussion and agreement, since other pages of the CPC Wiki point to this definitions.
