=== Awa ===[[File:Amstrad.png|thumb|120px|Amstrad Logo]]'''Amstrad''', being the company that has developed the CPC, is the default brand name shown in the boot message in most countries.
Australian CPCs were distributed by Mitsubishi Electric AWA Pty Ltd. Externally, these CPCs are looking identical to english CPCs (with the normal Amstrad logo above the ESC key). Internally, LK1 and LK2 are shortened, so the BIOS displays "=== Awa" instead of Amstrad in the boot message. Whereas, Amstrad made a small mistake: The correct name would be "AWA", not "Awa".===
