It was known that there was a 'software hook' in OZ that would allow the Z88 to boot into software written in the external slot 1. The 1M Flash card was the ideal candidate for this, there would be no need to do any hardware modifications on the Z88 at all. Before this could happen, OZ 4.0 needed to be disassebled, re-organised documented and understood.
During this discovery stage it was found that RAM and Flash could be on one device, hence the 512K/512K Flash/RAM card was developed.
This allows users to add
- a new operating system
...
- increase the RAM
- and have an area for storing files
all in one device externally.
None of this would have happened without the support of all the people, past and present, who have been involved in this project. They know who they are, thank you for all your efforts.
