|[[File:GA motherboard.JPG|200px]] || || '''Board: Prototype with Gate Array Simulator''' ([[CPC Prototypes|more pictures]])<br>The Gate Array Simulator board (mounted on top of the mainboard, and almost having the same size as the mainboard) contains four 8K EPROMs, and a Gate Array prototype made of several logic chips.<br>In later versions these evolved into a normal 28pin 32K ROM chip, and the custom 40pin Gate Array chip.

== CPC464 version 1 (original) ==
 
* Big mainboard, old Gate Array with cooling plate and with VCC2; supplied from VCC via two 12 ohm resistors, R138 and R139, which are seen (with white coating) near the cooling plate.
