	CPC Zone : The Amstrad CPC Community - About Us
		Over the years Amstrad have produced serveral electronic appliances including audio/video and was a major part of the launch of Sky as at that time it was the only company producing (and still producing) the digital boxes and dishes for recieving the service.
		The CPC 464 was followed by the 664 which disposed of the built-in cassette recorder for storage and moved to the much more reliable floppy disk drive, later the 6128, 6128 plus and 464 plus which had all been updated both cosmeticaly and technicaly.
		The software which came bundled with the various ranges of the Amstrad CPC was written by the in-house development team Amsoft who also manufactured various consumables (floppy disks etc).

	BBC - h2g2 - Amstrad CPC Home Computers
		The Amstrad CPC computers, especially the first model CPC 464, were one of the most successful computers in Europe in the mid-1980s, with more than two million units sold.
		All the CPCs had a fairly good keyboard and rather mediocre monitors, which were either monochrome green or in colour; the CPC itself could display at a maximum of 27 different colours.
		To pardon Amstrad, it should be said that at that time, both formats were new and theoretically the 3-inch could have become the world's standard format (were it not for the Apple MacIntosh and the MSX home computers already using 3.5-inch).

	Amstrad
		Computers of this type were first built in 1984 by the british company Amstrad and sold under different names in other countries (e.g.
		When the CPC 464 was unveiled, it had Z80 microprocessor, 32K ROM and 64K RAM, a built-in cassette recorder.
		The CPC 6128 (on the picture) came in 1985, with 128 KB RAM and nearly the same features as the CPC 664.

	The Acorn Emulation Page - Amstrad CPC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The CPC was a very popular little computer with the very successful Locoscript word processor (still developed today for the PC) which was used in my school library for many years.
		With it's classy green screens, and 3" disks that had to be manually turned over in the disk drive, for me in the early 90s, it was like a dinosaur from a past age.
		CPC by Mark Rison is a little less polished than CPCEmu and although developed around the same time isn't quite in the same class.

		Amstrad used CRTC (Cathodic Ray Tube Controller) from different manufacturers, which worked the same in the main, but do have many different characteristics.
		The problem with the CPC+ is that the connector on the back of the computer is 36-way, not 34 and is numbered back to front as well.
		Where to ask 08/15/99 Since the demise of Amstrad and Tandy stopping to sell the Notepad, the best place to ask for help is the newsgroup comp.sys.amstrad.8bit Free user support on Protext, the NC series word processor, from Brian Watson (protext@spheroid.demon.co.uk).

		CPC stood for 'Colour Personal Computer', although it was possible to purchase a CPC with a green screen (GT65/66) as well as with the standard colour screen (CTM640).
		Amstrad initially promoted the CPC as being an improvement on the competing ZX Spectrum and C64 because it was a complete system - including everything required to use the machine in one box.
		Compared to a C64 or a ZX Spectrum, the Amstrad CPCs shipped with their own monitor, had a built in tape recorder or floppy disk drive and even a small loudspeaker.

	Amstrad Cpc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The CPC was envisaged as being a hybrid games/business machine, but eventually ended up as a games machine in competition with the SinclairSpectrum and the CommodoreSixtyFour.
		It was slightly more robust due to the fewer number of system components and also ran the then-common CPM operating system, but used 3-inch disk drives making data-interchange rather difficult and the disks themselves were always in short supply and expensive.
		Little known fact: Acorn (makers of the BbcMicro) ported their business software (View, Viewsheet etc.) to the CPC (I know 'cos I was one of the two who did the port - the other was their original author, the late Mark Colton).

		I currently maintain two websites devoted to the Amstrad CPC computer, and also maintain the main archive of games and utilities for the CPC.
		Several years later, it has become one of the biggest Amstrad CPC websites on the World Wide Web, with more than 1200 reviews (most of which were written by me).
		Amstrad Action published some of my 10-liners in the June and July 1994 issues, but they definitely weren't some of the best that I wrote.

	Amstrad CPC464
		Later models replaced the tape with a 3" disk (CPC 664) and also upgraded the memory to 128K (CPC 6128) as well as fixing a few minor bugs in the OS and BASIC ROMs.
		After all that, as far as software is concerned, it's the same as a CPC 6128 with a lot of extensions.
		Amstrad's codename for the 464 during development was `Arnold', a name which appears in the ROMs of all versions; but ever since upgrading her to 6128 spec, I've called mine Ariadne.

	Amstrad CPC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Between the CPC 664 and the 6128 Amstrad released the CPC 664, which was the same spec as the 464 but had a diskdrive instead of the tape player.
		Some people have accused Amstrad of being cynical in its dealings with its customers, but when you look at the external factors, it is hard to see how else they could of behaved.
		My fave game on the CPC was 'Spindizzy', a sort of variation on 'Marble Madness' but with much more challenging puzzles and more to do.

	Prince of Persia Amstrad CPC
		Prince Of Persia was an instant classic on the 16-bit machines that followed the Amstad, Spectrum and C64 because of the fluid moving graphics and realism that the main player gave.
		You have been held captive in the dungeons of the emporer and have been given a chance to escape but you must completely escape the dungeons without being killed in a fall or by the guards who have been instructed to kill you at first sight.
		What made the game stand out so much on the 16-bit machines was the fluid motions of your character and indeed the other characters in the game, well you'll be happy to know that the CPC version containts all of that and a little bit more.

	OLD-COMPUTERS.COM : The Museum
		The Amstrad CPC 6128 was the successor to the Amstrad CPC 664 which had a very short life.
		Norbert Unterberg reports that the main reason for this was that the original Amstrad did not pass the German "FCC" test because it was polluting its surroundings with electromagnetic waves, and the rules for that were much stricter in Germany.
		However, after "Schneider Rundfunkwerke" stopped selling the Amstrad CPC series of home computers and the PCW series of word-processors, Amstrad continued to sell the CPC under the Amstrad brand name in Germany.

		There are other methods like plug a 3" drive on a PC or a 3 1/ 2" drive on a CPC, made an RS232C interface, but these ways are complicated, expensive and very dificult to make and get components, even in the market of second hand, so I prefer the last mencioned ones.

		Get ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/amstrad/emulator/transcpc.zip The CPC asm code needs Devpac or similar to be compiled, and any PC assembler for the PC asm code.
		To find out more, go to http://www.altsoft.demon.co.uk/cpcip It's probably easiest if you connect your CPC to a Linux box, using a null modem, and the instructions assume this, but there's no reason in principle why you couldn't connect via a modem.
		Details and a photo-session on the subject can be viewed on : http://www.euronet.nl/users/fvempel/3pc.html I have added a changeover switch that allows me to make the 3.5" either drive A or drive B and the original 3" one the other.

		If you browse CPC Zone via an old 800x600 resolution then you WILL have scrollbars when the new version of the website is uploaded, to be honest I would be incredibly surprised if you don`t already have this problem due to the number of images and artwork scans available on this site.
