Nordic Power and Atomic Power are Action Replay clones which apparently were available in germany only. Not even rip offs or hacks of these have been spotted as of yet. Please feel free to supply your own. All Nordic Power notes apply to Atomic Power as well as to Action Power Cartridge and Action Gear.
Power Series
Nordic Power 1.0 is a 100% copy of the Atomic Power with just the name and colors changed. It appears they were forced to change the name for some reason. The only assumption this is based on is the existence of the Nordic Power v7.2 dated 1991 though. There is no ROM available for the Action Power Cartridge 8.1 and the Action Gear yet but the current Power line of products likely looks like this:
- Atomic Power Cartridge Version 1.1 (c)Copyright 1990, Frank&Joe
- Nordic Power 1.0
- Nordic Power 7.2
- Action Power Cartridge V8.1 (ASI Ltd) ???
- Action Gear (german review)
Tech
- 32 KB ROM
- 8 KB RAM
- Action Replay alike hardware with a few changed wires leading to different bank switching behaviour
- Nordic Power registers - missing
ROM Description
Atomic Power 1.1 and Nordic Power 1.0 are likely based on the 4.x series of the Action Replay with quite a few changes which could only be done due to source code availablity. Investigations here are pending. :)
There are two slightly different Nordic Power 1.0 ROMs on the net. The change does not affect workability or fix bad emulation though and can be dismissed.

Notes
- Category:Extensions for Action Replay will work
Remains
- Tooldisks
- Manual Scan
- Boxphoto
- add link to CBM80 pointer explanation
- more pics to upload
- States:
- Specials - Backup asks for 1541 35 and 40 tracks and 1581 -> then crashes on VICE (testing required!)
- CBM hint for 5.x Action Replay series?
- Nova Load file transfer (hint for pre 5.x Action Replay)
- Loader Saving crashes as well - asks for enhancement disk before - but loader seems in ROM?
- has a sprite editor (from main menu-toolkit)

Weblinks
- German CBMHardware page - alas - the linked MK.gif is not correct and cannot be the same as the Nordic Power
