The Amstrad CPC464 is in many ways an unusual home computer, and the most obvious aspect of this type is the inclusion of an integral cassette recorder and a monochrome or colour monitor with the machine. However, the package as a whole represents outstanding value, and there are obvious advantages in having the built-in cassette recorder, and a monitor rather than the more usual course of using a television set to provide the display. The fact that the package costs relatively little does not mean that this computer lacks anything in terms of performance. With its good graphics capability, 80 column text mode, and outstanding sound generator it actually ranks as one of the best home computers currently available. The excellent hardware is well supported by the built-in computer language, Locomotive BASIC. This has a large range of useful commands available, including instructions that support the excellent graphics and sound capabilities of the machine. Although a complex BASIC of this type can be a little intimidating to the beginner, it makes programming much easier once the various instructions and functions have been mastered. This is not as difficult as one might imagine provided things are taken one step at a time, as (hopefully) this book demonstrates. In the summer of 1985 Amstrad introduced a second machine, the CPC664. The 664 has much in common with the 464 and indeed all BASIC programs for the 464, including those in this book, are completely compatible with the new 664. The main differences are that the 664 has a built-in disc drive in place of the cassette recorder of the 464, plus a few additional BASIC commands, most of these being concerned with graphics. Chapter 11 covers the special features of the 664. R.A. & J.W. Penfold | ★ AMSTRAD CPC ★ DOWNLOAD ★ |

Page créée en 884 millisecondes et consultée 776 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
