New AMSTRAD!
« on: 13:49, 25 March 15 »
I wonder if you know this AMSTRAD DA-155 and why it is not presented in cpcwiki. It  has some interesting functions, that other models doesn't.

Ah, a bright GT66 Monitor eventually, it was about time. However I don't like this Mac-like design.

If you combine this Amstrad tool with RetroBright(R) you can make a 464 look like the Grey Arnold :D That's how they build it

Don't complain so much. It follows the Amstrad "just one power cable" rule.

It's a shame Amstrad was so quick to drop the spectrum name on products they got from the spectrum r&d dept. when they aquired all their stock  ;)
