/* The Gate Array Simulator */
== The Gate Array Simulator ==
The [[Gate Array]] was the only component of the Amstrad CPC, which was not a standard one but developed by Amstrad. Before it could be produced as a single chip, they had to make tests with a prototype, which was a single print on top of the actual motherboard. Aside from the Gate Array logic, the PCB does also contain the 32K BIOS ROM (stored in four 8K EPROMs).
