Amstrad PCW 8512

Amstrad · 1985

The PCW with 512K and a second, larger disc drive, for people doing enough writing to be swapping discs. Same machine otherwise, and the extra memory makes it markedly better under CP/M than the 8256. The printer is the part that dies, and a PCW without its own printer is a much less interesting object than one with it.
