The Amstrad PPC512 is a fun little CGA MS-DOS machine, but it has a lot of limitations. Now that it's working, let's start upgrading it to turn it into a much more usable machine. After a couple minor restoration improvements, we add a Gotek floppy disk drive emulator to load disks from USB images, and then do a full memory upgrade to 640KB.
