Loving that PPC640 - a system that entirely passed me by! I have an Amstrad CPC6128 which

Wonder if they're still good?

Systems we've neglected or failed to boot
recently.
My Amstrad PPC-640 gets booted a couple-few times a year when I need a native MS-DOS
machine with a real serial port for work on some vintage broadcast hardware.
I need to dig out the three CP/M machines (Osborne 1, Kaypro 4-84, Kaypro 1) and see if
they will play, as they have not been booted in about a decade.
