The extension card ZX Dandanator mini which exists on ZX Spectrum should see the light on Amstrad CPC : the CPC Dandanator mini, announced by XeNoMoRPH on Amstrad.ES.
You can read all the features of the original card on its author web site (see above).

New version 130318b of YANCC by SOS for the XMASS extension card
-
Genesis8
A new version of YANCC (Yet Another Norton Command Clone) is available (130318b). It's a text interface to manage your files on the X-Mass and the AcmeDOS ROM with an interface which looks like norton commander or midnight commander).
Fixed Unwanted starts of YANCC during Warm-Reset (e. g. Monty on the Run)
In rare circumstances, some files are copied empty.
In rare circumstances, the ROM-Init of YANCC makes nonsense... (e.g. in "12 Lost Souls")
CubeIOS bugfix
It's this new version which is needed if you want to use the new ROM CubeIOS which replaces ACMEDOS.
CubeIOS, a FAT16,32 IDE-OS ROM for the Amstrad CPC's with XMASS
-
Genesis8
The XMASS mass storage extension card can now be used with another ROM, that is CubeIOS :
Detect (nearly) all Fat16+Fat32-Partitions on your CF-Card, DOM, etc. (1st Partition please). Prefered is Fat32 (should be faster with Save-Commands). You can format the media with e.g. Windows and fill it with data.
Partial longnames.
the usual RSX like |MD, |RD, |REN,....
|DIR + |CD accepts wildcards
Compatibility should be high (i hope so ;) ) - but i'm playing around with a lower-rom-patch to increase compatibility.
The ROM must be placed below AMSDOS and (if used) M4DOS, PARADOS. It's not compatible with ACMEDOS at the same time. YANCC-User should be update to the latest version.
