	* SPI interface, with WiFi or Ethernet module. Needed to connect to Internet. M4 or others may be compatible in the future if I (Abalore) manage to put my hands on any of them.		* SPI interface, with WiFi or Ethernet module. Needed to connect to Internet.

	* ~~ROM Box~~, in 8 or 32 slot versions. Needed to store the AMSTEAM ROM (optionally custom boot and/or other ROMs). This is not required if you already have a M4, a X-MEM or whatever other card capable of storing a ROM.		* [[Amsteam ROMBox]], in 8 or 32 slot versions. Needed to store the AMSTEAM ROM (optionally custom boot and/or other ROMs). This is not required if you already have a M4, a X-MEM or whatever other card capable of storing a ROM.

	* [[Cartridge Emulator]], 512K volatile storage based on RAM. Needed to download and play large games like cartridges or DSK images. This is not required if you already have a Play2CPC, but it will probably require a firmware update. The Play2CPC firmware update is done with a cheap JTAG cable. If the board programming is out of your reach, you can always send the board to me (Abalore) or someone near your ~~__cpLocation~~.		* [[Cartridge Emulator]], 512K volatile storage based on RAM.
