The problem I have with my version of Amstrad CPC is this file (which I got it from github). As you can see from the file below it only support tape-drive. Is there anyway I can get the ez0 that support disk drive, as well? Thanks in advance:

Re: Need help with Amstrad CPC
i thought the ezo were expansion packs - software on a romchip.. not peripherals like drives, printers etc..

Re: Need help with Amstrad CPC
The ez0 file is loaded by default by the core:
From the github documentation:
Expansion ROM
Expansion ROM should have file extension .eXX, where XX is hex number 00-FF of ROM page to load. Every page is 16KB. It's possible to load larger ROM. In this case every 16KB block will be loaded in subsequent pages.Special extensions:
eZZ - LowROM(OS)
eZ0 - LowROM(OS) + Page 0(Basic) + subsequent pages depending on size.
It is not something you have to load by yourself. But as the core loads this by default you are not able to mount any discs, because this file is described on the github as a "loadable CPC464-noDisk ROM".
Just remove it and you should be able to mount a disk (in dsk) format from the core menu.

As an added note, to remove something from a drive or an expansion slot, press the suppr key on the keyboard with the relevant opening dialogue box open. It took me a bit of a while to remember it the other day!

What do you mean suppr key? Where can I find it? Thanks.
Thank you all for the help. So wht I should do is simply delete cpc464-nodisk.rom the root directory?

Re: Need help with Amstrad CPC
In the file selection dialogue, the Backspace key unmounts the image. I guess the Suppr key means the Backspace key.
Converters I've written: Floppy DIM/FDI/FDD/HDM to D88, D88 to XDF, Tape SVI 318/328 CAS to WAV

The Backspace key is called suppr in France.
