ScuzzBlog: Diaries February 2024 Entry 15th February 2024: Post 1: Amstrad CPC464 - Ever reliable. Amstrad CPC464 - Ever reliable. I have three CPC464 on permanent duty with a couple more standing in the wings. I kinda fear not that these computers will work. For they are robust and pretty stable. I did repair all the belts and power on switches, but other than that they seem to look after themselves. The machine featured today is a very clean computer and works like a charm. The cassette drive is stable and rarely lets me down. I did try three games with the computer from the Roland series which all were pretty dreadful. I must have listened to both Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory and Meteora in the time I had to stand around waiting for the games to load. It really wasn't worth it. I used the green screen monitor as it is light weight and easy to lug onto the bench. The Amstrad takes its power from the monitor. Two of my other machines have the 3" compact floppy interface and drive which makes using CP/M a real asset. Having the floppy to save data makes life so much easier. Anyway she worked without fault and I was not surprised. She is a real trooper the CPC464 and I wouldn't be without one ready and waiting to fire up. Not sure about the games to be honest. I have a lot on cassette but am never tempted to play them. Just takes way too long and they are generally very poor. Happy days. Amstrad CPC464 - Ever reliable.
