Amstrad CPC 472
Amstrad · 1985
A tax dodge in a case. Spain levied duty on computers with 64K or less and a keyboard without Ñ, so Amstrad's Spanish distributor shipped 464s with a daughterboard carrying an extra, entirely unused 8K of ROM and a modified keyboard — enough to make the machine legally a 472. Sold only in Spain, in small numbers, and the pointless daughterboard is exactly why collectors want one.
