The Amstrad CPC, is a 8-bit computer produced by Amstrad in the ’80s. There were 3 systems: CPC464, CPC664 and CPC6128. The CPC464 had a cassette unit built into the keyboard and 64k of RAM. The CPC664 had a 3″ disc drive built into the keyboard and 64k of RAM. The CPC6128 had a 3″ disc drive built into the keyboard and 128k of RAM. Each system could be purchased with a Green Screen or Colour monitor. The monitor was necessary because it contained the power supply.
The Amstrad CPC+ is an updated Amstrad CPC computer with more colours, hardware sprites, improved scrolling and a DMA-like driven sound-chip.
The KC Compact is a eastern German clone of the Amstrad CPC series.
