AMSTRAD PC5086


PC 5086

 

Here we have another Amstrad PC. This PC came from a very kind donation by Neil Broke (see donations page). It is a very neat compact PC, in an extremely small box! I practically like the easy to use CMOS setup utility. In fact the only thing I don't like about this PC is the location of the keyboard and mouse ports. They are underneath the system unit, which makes them very fiddly to insert and remove. It is also an XT model computer, (super XT to be exact, according to the manual!) and requires that a special switch be set on the keyboard.
