This is a replacement of the lower ROM of the CPC.
It starts FutureOS automatically when you switch on your CPC6128 or 6128 Plus.

The file "LowerROM_4_FutureOS.rom" can be used as 'lower ROM' replacement.

It can be used in the LowerROM card or in the X-MEM.

FutureOS eXpansion ROMs (XROMs):
--------------------------------
The Disc images: "OS_XROMs_EN_2025-08-13.dsk" and "OS_XROMs_DE_2025-08-13.dsk" 
contain eXpansion ROMs (X-ROMs) for FutureOS.
These XROMs can be configurated with the included tools (run"disc") and they
shall be installed using 'ROManager' to set the ROM-internal variables correctly.

The XROMs contain:
------------------
- Tools for the adaption and configuratin of the OS, Information Systems, Control Panel etc.
- The 'ROManager' as ROM version
- FutureTex: Text Editor, Character designer, keyboard mapper and more :-)
- A vaierty of Wallpapers in ROM (automatic installation configurable)

Use ROManager to eventually install XROMs with properly setup internal ROM numbers :-D

There are also tools to adjust automatic start of XROM applications, such as Wallpapers.
Please have a look (ROManager) :-)

Also...

PLEASE use ROManager Ver. 2.1.9 (or later) to install XROMs (the ROManager XROM too!).
This way the hard codes ROM numbers will be adapted while installing the XROMs. :-)


You want something in an XROM? 
You want a personal wallpaper?
You want a personal mouse pointer?

Just tell TFM to do it: FutureSoft@gmx.de

It will be made for you for free :-D


___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Additional Disc Images:
-----------------------
Inst_IconSets_MacDeath 2025.11.25.dsk --> Can be used to Install the MacDeath Icon set.
					  Or any icon set of your choice :-)

Inst_IconSets_Tolkin_2025-11-19.dsk --> Can be used to Install the Tolkin Icon set.
					Or any icon set of your choice :-)


However you will not need this, because I did that for you. Except you want to create your own icon set ;-)


___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



Personalized version
--------------------

* Please request your personalized version of FutureOS at: FutureSoft@gmx.de

* Or download your 'request form' at www.FutureOS.de (See Downloads :-)

* This way your CPC / Plus will know if you use a color or monochrome monitor and which kinds of drives,
  kind of hardware is connedted.
  You can pick lots of parameters, f.e. if you want to see time/date as icons or small letters;
  if a click at an devices will automatically read the DIRectory and so on...
  Software will be more personal for you and show you favorite colors or other treats and easter eggs.

* And you can request additonal features, this way FutureOS becomes _your_ OS - in the way you want it :-)
