This version with grey keyboard was distributed in Germany. Originally, Schneider was the official distributor and all "grey" CPC-464 had a Schneider logo on their case. But later, Amstrad distributed these systems under their own names. This version is pretty rare...

subtitle: Amstrad disk drive
|
||
text: |-
|
||
After a long wait for the first purchasers of CPC-464, the diskette drive was available one year after its announcement. It connected to the expansion connector of the computer and used a 3" Hitachi diskette drive. This choice may appear strange in the light of the growing success of the Sony 3,5" standard, but would prove highly reliable in use. The Amstrad operating system (AMSDOS) is stored in a 16 KB ROM. Two operating systems and one language were delivered with this unit :\
|
||
\- **AmsDOS** allowed Amstrad Basic to be used via additional file-management commands, but was not very practical to use.\
|
||
\- **CP/M 2.2** from Digital Research which gave access to an immense professional software library but required two floppy drives in order to function well.\
|
||
\- **Dr. LOGO** A popular language, especially in educational circles. It took advantage of the sound and graphic capabilities of the Amstrad.
|
||
|
||
In spite of a prohibitive price due to a long period of (organized?) scarcity, Amstrad’s 3" floppy disks became the primary medium for numerous games and other programs and contributed to the big commercial success of the machine in Europe, until the announcement of the <$112$>CPC 664, the first model with an integrated disk drive.

||
**(1)** Read/Write magnetic head\
|
||
**(2)** As in any disk drive, 2 engines are required : the biggest one to spin the magnetic disc, and the second one (at the top) to move the read/write head\
|
||
**(3)** The DDI case contains its own power supply. The PSU is shown here surrounded by a thick metallic plate to prevent magnetic fields from damaging the disks\
|
||
**(4)** The power supply regulation part is located under the disk drive\
|
||
**(5)** Disk introduction slot and eject button. Disk storage capacity is of 169 Kb. for system floppy disks (which include an operating system), or 178 Kb. for data disks.

The Schneider CPC-464 was produced in Germany by Schneider Rundfunkwerke. It was first marketed successfully in Germany, then in France and Spain and maybe other European countries.
|
||
|
||
It was basically the same machine as the [Amstrad CPC-64](/museum/amstrad-cpc-464/) with a less colorful case and keyboard and some slight hardware differences, like better quality back connectors.
|
||
|
||
More information about the Schneider-CPC range by **Lyall Moffitt**\
|
||
This document lists the differences between the English CPC's and the German CPC's.\
|
||
The original distributor in Germany was Schneider GmbH. The machines distributed by Schneider had the Schneider logo on them. (The monitors and some peripherals were also re-branded as "Schneider" e.g. Schneider DDI-1). Later CPCs were distributed by Amstrad and had the Amstrad logo on them.\
|
||
The three models distributed by Schneider were:\
|
||
**Schneider CPC464:**\
|
||
This had the Schneider logo followed by "64k Colour Personal Computer <>" printed on the keyboard.\
|
||
The keyboard did not have green and red keys, instead these were coloured light brown/grey.\
|
||
**Schneider CPC664:**\
|
||
This had the Schneider logo followed by "64k Colour Personal Computer <>" printed on the keyboard.\
|
||
The keyboard did not have blue keys, instead these were coloured light brown/grey.\
|
||
**Schneider CPC6128:**\
|
||
This had the Schneider logo followed by "CPC6128: schneiderCPC" printed on the keyboard.
|
||
|
||
Early German CPC's show "Schneider 64K Microcomputer ..." or "Schneider 128K microcomputer ..." on start-up. Later CPC's showed "Amstrad 64k Microcomputer ..." or "Amstrad 128K microcomputer ...". The start-up name is defined by option links on the P.C.B.\
|
||
German CPC464's and CPC664's have P.C.B. edge connectors like the English CPC's.\
|
||
German CPC6128's have real connectors, instead of the P.C.B. edge of the English CPC's. This was done to reduce RF emissions. The printer is a 36-way female centronics type, the Expansion is a 50-way female centronics type and the second disc drive is a 34-way female centronics type. All the other connectors are the same. (joystick, stereo sound, monitor and power).\
|
||
All German CPC's have internal metal shield covering the circuit board. This is used to reduce RF emissions. Therefore the German CPC's are much heavier than the English CPC's.\
|
||
Internally, all German CPC's were identical to the English CPC's. The P.C.B. was identical.\
|
||
The quick reference "sheet" on the top of the CPC6128 and CPC664 disc drive is also in German.\
|
||
The computer information, printed on the base of the computer is also in German.
