Subject: Amstrads in the US
Well, Amstrad wasn't really big over here, but they
did sell a few
machines.
Other Amstrad's I've got (second hand) are the
PDA600 "PenPad" and the
PC-20
(sort of a CoCo-ish/Atari ST-ish one-piece PC).
btw, there was another PPC640 that sold on eBay this weekend, but it was
complete, with power supplies, software, and a really neat case. I didn't
get it, though. 8^(
I have the complete set on mine: software neat case, manual (in
French
:) )and Power supply (220v :( )I would be interested in finding a US power
supply as I don't think the machine can run for very long on the 10 alkaline
bateries.
