Subject: Amstrad's PCs
Wasn't that the Schneider EuroPC? I believe Adrian's got one of them.
In fact, a quick google turns up

Gordon.
not the one with the "pop-up" lcd, but
didn't Amstrad
make a Atari ST-looking model (essentially a whole
computer in the keyboard) with presumably an 8088?
Can't find it on old-computers.com. Not much but the
above mentioned PPC-640 shows up in an casual google
search.
Actually maybe it had an 8086.
Actually maybe the thing I forgot to bid on (a long
time ago) didn't have an Intel proc at all, and the
auction lied or was misinformed.
Yep - you're correct - was an 8086 with 512kb of RAM - looked a little
like the Amiga 500.
