I am selling this old Amstrad that was passed on to me from a neighbor. I have turned it on a number of times, but the monitor is either burnt out or it needs fixed. Price is negotiable and will depend on shipping costs. All parts are included: Keyboard, Monitor, Mouse, and all the appropriate cables
I am located in Pittsburgh, PA and willing to ship to both US/Canada.
The Amstrad used an "enhanced" CGA graphic mode, which could display 640x200 pixels with 16 colors (or grayscale). It was sold with MS-DOS 3.2, DR-DOS plus 1.2 (an operating system from Digital Research), GEM (a graphic interface, also used in the Atari ST, TT & Falcon), GEMPAINT and GEM BASIC.
The mouse port, although using 9 pins like a COM port, is proprietary to Amstrad ... The port is female and is only for use with an Amstrad mouse. The special PC-CM monitor provides power to the system unit by a large 14-DIN connector.
If interested, please respond to this post.
