Bring back memories. My parents bought us a cpc464 when I was 13, it's where my life began actually. Cpcs where pretty common in France these days.

I bought mine from a friend in 87. Used it until 91 when I got my first PC.
Long hours spent in front of the blue screen with yellow text, typing away huge BASIC programs or doing assembly under CP/M.
What an amazing time it was... thanks for the walk down memory lane.

I use it for thousands of hours when I was a kid and now I cannot recall ever having it. What can I say? Truly Nostalgic!!! Cheers!!!!

I got a CPC 6128 from my parents in 1986 - so this video really brings back memories. Did a bit of basic programming too. However I remember being quite envious to those of my classmates who had a Commodore 64 because they were able to connect their "machine" to a colour-TV where I was "stuck" with my boring monochrome, green monitor.

Great CPC6128 videos, I remember writing Basic programs from magazines !!

I had one of those. Good times!

Nothing more relaxing than the light of a good green Cathode Ray Tube.

One more "That was my first computer". Yes, it was, a monochrome monitor, and I had wonderful times with it.

BTW, these machines that only came with basic were much more educational that the easy stuff we offer nowadays to our teenagers.

I actually built a Super80 many years ago. Eventually upgraded to CPC464 in '85.... The only item I have of that machine, is the manual... I still use it... Of course, the Amstrad, is now emulated.... and I still use it now and then when I feel nostalgic... Good memories... Thanks for the video!!

This was the 1st PC that I bought. Had the 16 colour monitor and it was awesome. Kept the whole family up most nights printing hard copy of code. Good times.

Yay graph paper! I remember doing exactly the same thing when I was a kid with my Atari 800XL! Memories :) - Didn't know the CPC had a true 80 column mode, that's really impressive for a home 8-bit at the time! Always thought of my Atari as being the more powerful beast (and in many ways it was way ahead of it's time),  but the lack of 80 colums really did irritate me when using it for programming and word processing, so yep, new found respect for Amstrad! Lovely clear mono monitor as well.

You are an amazing teacher. If you made a programming course on Udemy or wherever I would buy it straight away.

Love that screen !!!!! It look so much as the ones in fallout !
can't believe I programmed on that thing back in the days 😍

The Compact Floppy format was also available as an option for the Sinclair Spectrum, and the Spectrum +3 has one built-in.  There was also a CF2 drive option on the Oric Atmos but I don't know if that was particularly popular.  Certain MSX systems, particularly those from Yamaha, also used the CF2 disc; this makes sense as the format was developed in Japan by Hitachi Maxell.  The Amdek Amdisk-III was an attempt at mareting the CF2 format for PC and CP/M system users.  A few other systems I am aware of which used the format were the Tatung Einstein, the Yamaha MDR-1 sequencer, the National MyBrain 3000 desktop computer, the Gavilan laptop computer and the Sega SC-3000, for which the SF-7000 drive option was created.

I got mine in the 80s, my first pc, I thought myself to write code, basic on this thing.  Good times indeed.  A very uncommon thing for kid in Costa rica

I know this video was made a few years ago but just stumbled across it. Such memories. My first computer was the CPC464 with the tape deck, Bought it, tried to load a couple of games from tape, it took so so long, that within 24 hours I took this back to the shop (Dixons, UK) and exchanged it for this one CPC6128. Fell in love with computers then in 85. Loved watching this video thanks for uploading.

My first computer!! Great to see one again - thanks.

Thanks for sharing!

nice presentation. Well done.

Great video!

Keep it up!
