1) What's the real differences between these?
2) In the smaller V2 flash image, are all of these really needed? They take up a good bit of space in that earlier flash ram that means some newer stuff won't fit, for example, there is no room for the CCD Example rom that is forthcoming.

Here's what I see in the 41CL flash. What's the differences?

1) CCDR - CCD module 1B (two pages)
2) CCDX - CCD OSX ROM (one page - CCD os extensions?)
3) CCDA - CCD Advanced rom (one page)
4) CCDP - CCD Plus rom (two pages)

What do these do for us? That's six flash pages for these.

Whether they're "needed" or not is in the eye of the beholder. Here's what they all are:

1. CCDR - the original CCD Module
2. CCDX - Raymond's 4k subset. Misses CAT'4 extensions. In my mind it was superseded by the "AOSX", i.e. AMC_OS/X, which in turn got superseded by its Library#4 version ("4AOS"), which in turn got superseded by the Bank-switched versions (OSX2 and OSX3) ... that chain takes us to the ultimate version, i.e. the "OSX3" module - the definitive with four bank-switched pages now.

3. CCDA - A CCD APPS collection (yes, like the ones we're doing now)
4. CCDP - the original CCD without the ARRAY functions (which arguably are sort of superseded by the Matrix set in the Advantage), and which were replaced with more utilities of other general purpose types.

Hope this clarifies - it's a wild world out there...
