Slot 0

Card Menu in Detail

There are two sections in the card menus.

Slot 0 is the internal RAM and ROM section which is not normally changed on the standard Z88. OZvm uses a Flash chip to store the image in although this may not be the type of device used in the standard Z88.

Slots 1 - 3 where additional RAM, ROM and EPROMs are used..

The standard Z88 came with a 128K ROM and 32K of RAM. There are several articles around on how to modify the Z88 to use a Flash chip (up to 512K) and to increase the RAM to 512K as well. OZvm allows these changes without the need of a screwdriver, additional sockets or a soldering iron.

There are two choices.
