  • Amstrad CPC6128...what can I use it for ?I found an Amstrad CPC6128 at a dump. Can it be used for anything ?

    That depends if it works or not! :-P
    If it doesn't I suppose it could be used to provide a working disk drive for a faulty Spectrum +3.
    If memory serves me right they're pretty useless without their monitor display as it contains the PSU.
