Amstrad CPC 464

Back to where you came from. The same text in Greek.

Amstrad CPC 464. It is built around a Z-80A processor which runs at 4 MHz.

Comes with its own green screen VDU or colour monitor, built-in cassette data recorder, 64K of RAM, 32K of ROM, typewriter style keyboard and a very fast extended BASIC. You can use the green screen version of the CPC 464 with a colour TV by connecting the optional power supply and modulator. Over 42K is available to users, thanks to the implementation of ROM overlay techniques. High resolution graphics, 80 column text display, up to 8 text windows, a graphics window and a palette of 27 colours. Plenty of interest for music lovers when the 3-voice, 7-octave stereo output is fed through a hi-fi amplifier and speakers. By plugging an expansion board into the disk interface at the back, you will be able to add alternative ROM or RAM cartridges, 16K at a time.
