Amstrad PCW

[Stephen Coates]

It does indeed sound a bit 'primitive' compared to the Amiga, but then, so does the IBM PC.

The particular one in the paper is a PCW 8256. I wasn't planning on buying it, as I don't really have much use for such a machine, but I am now curious to know about them as I've never really heard of them before.

Like a ghetto iMac or something.

Take a chance and get it. You could always have a mess about with it and sell it on later, or smash it up.

Thet Amstrad PCW has a Zilog Z80 as CPU .... 4 mhz, but it worked under 4mhz, about 3.4mhz...
and i think it did not have color display ...
