Future OS is an operating system for Amstrad CPC that needs a rombox or a rambox, Future OS is more powerful than amsdos, but amsdos and CP/M programs must be adapted before using them under Future OS (they can even work faster). Type |OS or |FDESK to launch Future OS. For more information, go at Future OS, you can use it on emulators like Caprice (install ROMs A B C D in slots 10 to 13) or WinAPE 2.0a4 (doesnt work with WinAPE 2.0a5).

Speaking of Future OS, the second issue FutureView, the discmag for CPC and Future OS should be available at the end of july, with more than 50 Kb of articles, some pictures and maybe something special. It will be released in english, french and german.
