  • Multiple Language & Keyboard selection - The popular foreign ROM's can now be selected; choose from a range of countries, use different keyboard layouts and see the change of languages in the localized date names in the Clock, Calendar and Diary
    • Supported languages are:- UK (default) USA, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish
    • New API calls provided for localized dates names available for applications
  • Fast Serial Port - all speeds and protocols supported with reliable file transfer up to 38400 baud. We re-wrote the entire serial port Serial port driver has been fully rewritten again (first attempt was done in OZ v4.4). Now, it works with practically every cable out there, whether a classic RS-232 or a USB-adapter. Transmit is direct to hardware and all receive speeds are buffered with a large 256 bytes buffer. XON/XOFF and parity are fully supported.
  • New API calls provided for serial port fast block transfer (and used by Eazylink)
  • Eazylink2 connects to 21st century Desktop computers with support for the original file transfer Imp/Export popdown, using the fast serial driver of OZ v4.5
  • XMODEM and YMODEM protocol added to Imp/Export popdown
  • BBC BASIC V3.10. Now includes the "patch" integration from the V2.2 / V3 UK ROM
  • Fast Backup using Flash cards support in Filer and Flashstore. Flash cards are FORMATTED by the Z88 itself. - No need to use EPROM Cards or the EPROM Eraser to FORMAT them
  • Terminal supports all VT52 commands
  • Main HELP pages repopulated and expanded

  • System Info page in Index that displays OZ build release information, battery status and free system resources

  • Alarms can be saved to file (for backup and restore across soft reset)

  • EPROM is checked that it is empty before cataloguing the first time
  • Original HELP pages restored and expanded from ROM V3.0 UK (in OZ 4.0, all HELP pages were removed due to space constraints)
  • Major speed optimization by moving interrupt manager in low RAM
  • Reorganization and cleaning of system variables in low RAM allowing space for 96 handles
  • Lots of bug fixes and optimizations resulting in a fast and rock stable release

We have completed the Z88 User Guide v4.5 edition which covers all new features in OZ v4.5, extended from the 4th edition originally released by Cambridge Computer in 1989. We have completely revised this guide and included up-to-date screenshots of all running applications using OZvm.
