The core of the OS needs 64 KB ROM. Compatible products are EPROM-cards, the ROM-RAM-BOX, SYMBiFACE II, RAMcard, Jareks Flash-ROM or similar products. If you don't own such a card, you can take a look at FutureOS by using a compatible CPC Emulator (WinCPC, Caprice, WinApe, CPCEmu). <br>The core of the OS itself is executed directly in (Pseudo-)ROM or EPROM where it is divided in four 16 KB blocks. It jumps between the ROMs with the help of a little common area. Up to 48KB FutureOS uses 2 KB (&amp;B800...&amp;BFFF) of Ram is used by the OS and DIRectory bufferingfirst 64 KB, the rest all other RAM can be used for applications. Additional RAM can be occupied for DIRectory buffering. Furthermore it contains the OS uses memory management, file-handling and Low/Mid/High-level routines to access the hardware. From AmsDOS/Basic you can start FutureOS with the RSX commands |OS or |FDESK. If you use |FDESK you can leave FutureOS and get back to BASIC where you have stopped before - the first 48 KB (not the screen) have been preserved. <br>FutureOS only runs well on a CPC6128 or 6128plus(not CPC464 or 664), because they support the RAM configuration &amp;C3 (which is essential for the mouse arrow of the GUI).
