I wonder whether a Vortex RAM expansion card applied to a CPC464 is software compatible to the CPC6128 "standard" ram. Will software/games that require >=128K RAM run on such a CPC464 (if BASIC incompatibilies are not involved)? Is there an emulator emulating a Vortex RAM expansion card? The ROM dumps are available but they are obviously not "hardware" compatible to the CPC standard. Stephan

No, the Vortex RAM expansion is neither compatible to CPC6128's RAM nor to any other RAM expansion. It can only be used with the |BOS commands or, afaik, in CP/M. I don't know if there's an emulator for it.
