Hi! :)


> >I need information on a very old pc: Amstrad pc1640DD.
> >Please someone tell m ewhere to get it.

The closest model that I could seem to find was the PPC640D... :( There
is some more information on it at http://www.amstrad.com/computer2.htm
as well as at http://www.ncsc.dni.us/fun/user/tcc/cmuseum/ppc640d.htm.
By any chance is it a portable machine? According to the site above, the
PPC640D has 640K RAM, an 8086 processor, and a mono CGA display.

I do believe that the PPC640D is indeed the portable model in the other
request quoted below. :) Was quite a neat machine... Had a full sized
keyboard, and could be run off of 10 C-sized batteries...

HTH! :)
