Amstrad CPC464 MC0003A mainboard

[00WReX]

Hi All,

This is an interesting one for all of you (like me) who have an interest in the different CPC mainboard revisions.
Completely by accident I stumbled across an interesting one on ebay.

Not that I know the actual differences and I'm sure they are minor...but I have never seen/heard of an MC0003A revision mainboard that only has the original 'tall key' keyboard connector.

The CPCwiki mainboards sections does not have it either.

And the other interesting thing is that it is a part number Z70200
This is interesting because the 'low key' keyboards seemed to start at revision MC0002C.
The revision 3A would seem to indicate it was after revision 2C, but the 3A board has no provision for the ribbon connector keyboard connections.

I will upload the ebay picture to the WIKI soon, and although not the best picture will at least add another board to the list.
Check it out here...
