Introduction
This lower ROM allows the autostart of FutureOS.
Function
The CPC FutureOS lower ROM allows the autostart of FutureOS as soon as the CPC6128 / 6128 Plus computer is switched on. The ROM itself contains only a character set between &3800 and &3FFF and a couple of opcodes which page in ROM &0A = 10 (this is the place where FutureOS ROM A is usually located. Here it's a prerequisite) and jump to FutureOS ROM A. The native CPC-OS will not be used at all, therefore the start up is even quicker.
This lower ROM replacement proves that FutureOS does only need a character set at &3800 and nothing else to work. All other CPC OS do need much more parts of the native CPC-OS.

For the usage of this lower ROM version you can use devices like the LowerROM, developed by User:Bryce.
