I'll add a comment to your listing, explaining exactly what it is
that you're offering, if it will help. The Amstrad PCW did make a
brief US appearance, being sold by Sears Roebuck in their retail
computer stores (mine is such a machine, operating from 120v 60Hz
power). I suspect it was the difficulty in finding 3" CF floppies
that caused them to disappear into the depths of attics and
basements. The WP software was actually pretty good--and they could
also run CP/M 3.0. A bit unique in being a low-end Z80 personal
computer that had no hardware text display capability--it's all
graphics.
