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.

Can it do hardware scrolling? What's the palette size??  :o

It has a green a blue and a light green and light blue.
It can move Amiga-like filled circles.

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

Ah all that modern crap. Everything built in and no way to expand. Really, too much apple ideology here.  :laugh:

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  ;)
