Card Software Information
There are four versions of software available for either the 1M and 512K Flash cards.
|
These are
- OZ 3.00 - uses the OZ version you have on your Z88
- OZ 3.00 with Eazylink 5.1 - Save files directly to the Flash card
- OZ 4.2 - runs a newer and faster version of OZ without modifying the Z88
- OZ 4.3 and above Upgrade - get the very latest version
The
software supplied with OZ 3.0 includes Garry Lancaster's Forever compilation
and the ZIP
Utilities
ROM.
Some
applications
do not work correctly with OZ 4.2 as
they were specifically designed to work with v3.00 and below. This is
why
there are two versions. |
In 2010
The
1M Flash card was redesigned to use the physically smaller size
chip size allowing 1M Flash, 1M RAM - (low power) and 512K RAM/512K
Flash cards to be offered from the same Printed Circuit Board. |
|
|
|
|
|
Everything in just one Card
(if you wish)
|
In the past you would
have put your RAM in Slot 1, any extra applications in ROM in Slot 2
leaving Slot 3 for the EPROM to save files.
Flashstore
& Software Supplied
Flashstore
(which is required
to read and write files to the flash card) is a 16K Application. The
minimum amount
of space for applications on the flash card is 64K. Other useful
Applications have
been added to use up the spare space.
Planning to use 2 or more Flash cards
click
here for more information.
See
Application
2006 for even MORE applications!
When
upgrading to OZ 4.2 (or 4.3 and above), you leave the original OZ and RAM in the
Z88. Plug in the 512K Flash/RAM or 1M Flash in Slot 1, do a HARD RESET
and your Z88 will run OZ from Slot 1.
Using the 512K Flash/RAM Card allows you to run OZ, Additional
Applications, Save files to the file area and have extra RAM all in the
one card. This leaves 2 free slots for other cards.
|
FREE
SPACE FOR FILES
The
amount of space you have left for saving files is shown in the table
below. It is dependant on the size of the card and whether OZ 4.2 or above is
supplied.

After
a period of around several years the Z88 development team bring you a
long
awaited new version of OZ, the Z88's operating system.
Click here for
the list of enhancements.
Using the 1M or 512K flash card, no modifications need to be made to
your
existing Z88 Computer, just plug the flash card in slot 1, your
memory card in slot 2, do a HARD RESET and you are off with the new
version. Two additional applications are included. These are Flashstore
and Eazylink (just the Z88 application. The PC program still needs to
be purchased if required). |
|
For further details
about this on-going development just give us a call for
a chat!
We will supply either version for no extra charge.
Providing you have a Z88 with at least 256K of memory and a flash card
you can download and instal it yourself. Click here
to go to RomUpdate.
There
are a number of applications that will not run under OZ 4.2. These are
all of RANGER applications and those that patch directly into OZ 3.0.

[Original
1M INTEL Flash Card] |
Works
like a charm! I am very impressed - I love the Z88 and with 1
MB to play with as well as easy erasing, I am very happy. I now
have a problem though - what to do with my old EPROM!

Just
one of the comments from our users about the 1M Flash Card pack when it
just came out in 1997 (For
more comments - see the Reviews section).
This
is a high-capacity
low priced storage card that fits either into any slot on the Z88. Just
like
the old EPROM packs it does not lose its data when it is removed
or if power is lost from the Z88.
There
are four version
of the flash card available.
1.
OZ 3.00 Version - which is used with the standard Z88
2. OZ 4.2 Version - which has the same applications as above and OZ 4.2.
3.
OZ 3.00 Version - which is used with the standard Z88 with Eazylink 5.1
4. OZ 4.3 Version - which has the same applications as above and OZ 4.3.
The
highlighted applications
mark the range supplied on the Z88 with each version of OZ.
OZ 4.3 and Eazylink 5.1
|
|
|
OZ
4.3 and above or Eazylink 5.1 Upgrade |
|
|
|
These updates attract an extra cost. Users may return their Flash cards
with their remittance and postage (currently £36 inc VAT). NOTE: Files on an INTEL Flash Card can only be written to when the card is in slot 3. OZ 4.2 or 3 only runs in Slot 1. If the card is used in slot 1 or 2, the files will be 'read-only.'
|
|
- Save or Fetch files
directly to the Flash card with this Eazylink upgrade.
- Avoid
using RAM space just as a bridge between the two.
- The file areas look
like RAM and are
labeled :EPR.1, :EPR.2 and :EPR.3 depending which slot is used.
- The
software on the PC remains unaltered.

|
View in Eazylink
|
PC
|
|
The PC display will just show the Flash File Area as :EPR.x
|
|
|
|
|
When using these updates the view in Eazylink will display any formatted file areas and their contents on the Flash card.
|
|
By marking the files, they can be transferred to the PC just as if they were in RAM.

| If Eazylink displays its version number in the left-hand bottom corner, it can read / write to the flash file area directly. | |
