Solavox

Added Awa to the used brand names sentence.
'''Solavox''' is also included in the CPCs alternative manufacturer names, which are predefined in the BIOS ROM, and are jumper-selectable via [[8255|PPI Port B]]. Amstrad was apparently planning to allow Solavox (and some other companies) to redistribute the CPC computers.
Of these pre-defined brand names, only [[Amstrad]] and , [[Schneider]] (german distributor) and [[Awa]] (australian distributor) were used. Another distributor was [[Indescomp]] (spain), this company wasn't included in the BIOS ROM, and so, Indescomp CPCs usually displayed [[Amstrad]] in the boot message, for some reason (maybe accidently) a few Indescomp CPCs displayed [[Solavox]]. For best confusion, this happened in '''Indescomp U.S.A.''' models, whilst Solavox / Comet Group are '''UK''' based companies.
