LaterTime ago definition, decades ago kind of imaginary computer, now reality. Actually extended system derived from the Amstrad PCW / Schneider Joyce. It has colour video and sound capabilities that the classic PCW lacked.  Based on certain features that the '''[[ANT]]''' project, (Arnold Number Two) from the Amstrad/Locomotive development team led by Ronald Perry, would also possess.  Nowadays emulated and FPGA-ed too.  The name ''PCW+'' was not used due to the existence of the 9512+ model: '''+''' implies a 3.5" drive, while '''Plus''' implies colour.(Note that a ''PCW Plus'' UK magazine also existed after the ''8000 Plus'' name was dropped).  John Elliot's PCW '''Joyce''' emulator supports colour with JOYCE 800x600 driver.[[File:Joyce Color.png|200px|thumb|center|PCWcolour by Elliot's Joyce]]  In the evolution of '''Habisoft's CP/M Box''' emulator and its research into the PCW system arose the idea to clone the '''dk'Sound''' board (existed at that 80´s time as add-on). This had the AY sound chip.   And later, thanks to FPGA technology, the PCW was equipped with an accessory that would enable colour video: '''ColorIN Board'''.  Historically, only one commercial program, published by Ocean, ''"HeadOverHeels"'' by Ritman and Drummond, supported the AY chip on the PCW.  Habisoft published a series of ports from CPC that expanded the PCW library with more dk'sound: ''Abbey of Crime''; ''Hero Quest''; ''Knight Lore''; ''Pac Mania''; ''Spirits''.[[File:knight_lore_screenshot01.png|200px|thumb|center|more PCW dk´sound AY power]][[File:KL1.png|200px|thumb|right|PCWcolour option on Habisoft´s KnightLore. First software that used ColorIN]]After that, it standardized the possibility of ports from the ZX Spectrum to PCW: ''Movie''; ''Fat Worm''; ''Nonamed''; and ''Phantomas2/Vampire'', which used the PCW's buzzer as the Spectrum's beeper. Some of these also incorporated AY music.   The conversion trail was followed by Kachorro in its Spectrum ports of ''Barbarian'', ''Coliseum'', and ''Xecutor''.   [[File:1N+M5u.png|200px|thumb|center|ZX to PCW, new color palette]]

'''1''' – Groups bits 2 by 2, giving '''4 colors; 360x256'''.''User could choose and recolour classic PCW software.'' ''[N SuperGameBoy style.]''

'''2''' – Same as 4-bit. '''16 colors, 180x256'''.''Useful on Interactive Fiction text Adventures with Graphic Window.''

'''3''' – 8x1 attribute mode, as Timex/Thomson/MSX/... 8+8 bits are read, the first 8 are background and ink (4+4) and the next 8 are the bitmap. This allows for '''16 colors in 360x256''', at the cost of using only 2 different colors every 8x1 pixel. Due to the delay, the screen shifts one character to the right.''[Reminds N GameBoyColor DX recolouring.]''
