Technical

ROM version has a size of 256K. It is split into 16K pages. 2 Pages are standard CPC roms, one of which is a "extension rom". Part of the Brunword word processor is copied into RAM, the "extension rom" does most of this.

The ROM Select port (&DF00) is decoded and has 2 roles. First is to select which ROM page appears in the range &C000-&FFFF of the Z80's address space. The second role (when bit 5,4 are used), makes a page visible in the range &4000-&FFFF of the Z80's address space.

The exact decoding of the ROM select port is unknown. The exact function of all the data bits is not known.
