Notes
Although this is a ROM, it actually loads a BASIC file into memory and runs that.
The utility suite collects several basic programs into one file, which were sourced from various places:
- The Z80 disassembler is code from R.A Waddilove which was first included in "Computing with the Amstrad", November 1985. (Read on ACME.ME)
- The Print Catalog code is from John Campbell, published in "Amstrad Computer User", October 1985 (Read on Archive.org )
