/* Products */ Added link to the Cirkit Prestel Link Amstrad Interface page
'''Cirkit Distribution''' was british company located in Broxbourne. The company (re-)distributed several CPC peripherals. At least some of those peripherals seem to have been originally developed by [[HoneySoft]]. Cirkit hardware seems to be quite rare; at least there's little information about it in the internet.
== Products ==
* [[Cirkit Prestel Link Amstrad Interface ]] ("It looks like a cartridge (8x5cm) for an Amstrad with a passthrough edge connector and a lead (70cm) comming out with a 5-pin DIN plug (male) at the end.")
* Cirkit twin-port serial interface (resold by [[Microstyle]])
* [[Cirkit serial interface]](this is the serial interface that was bundled with the Prestel Link modem)* [[Cirkit HX-RX1 Rom Expansion Card]] (this might be the same piece of hardware as the [[Honeysoft ROM Board]], which was distributed via the Cirkit telephone number)
Not sure if above list is complete, or if some items are duplicated.
According to this webpage, [http://www.systemed.net/pcw/cps8256.html], the Cirkit serial interface uses the same Port addresses as the Amstrad / Pace interfaces (most information on that webpage, especially the clock frequencies, baudrate, and chipset, seems to be incorrect, so not too sure if the part about Cirkit I/O ports is correct).
