The FutureOS is an revolutionary Operating System for the Amstrad computers CPC6128 and CPC4646128plus. Its a 100 novel development, coded in Z80 Assembler. The OS is compatible to the old discformats Data, System, IBM, Vortex and Dobbertin HD20 and file types binary, ascii, .... But its not compatible with old Amsdos or CPM programs. Old programs can be adapted, and they may run faster under FutureOS. The OS contains a variety of disc and filetools like multidirectional filecopy. It has many features like the PortingSystem, which doesnt exist on other computers. The advantages of Amsdos like fileheaders are kept, but greatly enhanced. All 128 bytes of the fileheader are used. The OS needs 64 KB memory in an ROMRAMBOX, RAMcard or a EpromCard. For the support of IDE devices another 16 KB ROM is needed. Different ROMselections are possible, and only the first ROM needs a number below 16. The OS is compatible with all other EPROM expansions, it is running in the ROMs. Therefore the OS needs only 2 8 KB of RAM.
