SymbOS is a GUI operating system available for the Amstrad CPC, PCW and the MSX range of computers. There are 2 ways to run SymbOS on the CPC : Floppy disk or ROM. I decided to go down the ROM route.

If you want to use EPROMS, you need the following hardware.

  • ROM board/box
  • 4 * 27(C)128 EPROMS

When you turn the CPC on, you get the following screen.
