Help me out here please, #Amstrad #retrocomputer folks.

I have this slightly rubbish photocopy of what seems like an essential document for Amstrad fans, "Amstrad BASIC: The Complete Technical Specification".

I expected his to be well treasured and multiple copies to be available on the web. But apparently not. Can someone confirm or refute this?

Thank you!


Here's my current range of #8bit #retrocomputer badges and keyrings made from printed circuit boards, as shown here when I was at the Retro Computer Museum back in June.

UK ordering at: samcoupe.com/quickshop.htm
(Discounts if buying a few - see the Pic 'n' Mix options!)

It all helps add a few pounds to my development fund for creating new hardware and software that I've got in the works for a range of systems, including the SAM Coupe - the main system I've been developing for now for over 33 years.

I found this video on YouTube talking about the Dick Smith Wizzard: youtube.com/watch?v=riKkhmYBkc…

It is a rebadged VTech Creativision under the hood: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTech_Cr…

Interestingly, the chiclet keyboard is removable on the Wizzard/Creativision and it can be used (or sold) as games console without the keyboard.

The Dick Smith VZ200 and VZ300 are a rebadged VTech Laser 210 and 310, with a couple of modifications (the VZ200 had 8K RAM, the 200 just 4K): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTech_La…

And a video on the VZ300, including its history: youtube.com/watch?v=3EvRcHnhG9…

This piece of #PopArt was among the very first #digitalArt works made in color with #Amiga 1000 home computer hardware on a #16bit #Motorola #CPU. Even when #RichardShoup's #SuperPaint was available a decade earlier, it couldn't challenge #DeluxePaint. Of course 1985 #AndyWarhol was a big #PR stunt for #Commodore, but his #pixelPOP #art was lost on 3.5" #floppydisk's for over three decades.
