| CPC 6128 arrival in States held up (Popular Computing Weekly) |
THE US launch of Amstrad's CPC 6128 computer has suffered heavy delays, and is not yet on sale. The machine was jointly previewed by Amstrad and Indescomp at last summer's CES in Chicago. At the tune, it was due to go on sale around September in the US. "There have been heavy delays on it because of FCC tests," said Loren Willey, Indescomp US's marketing director. "Not only the computers but the peripherals that come with it had to be separately tested, and then the full kit when put together had to be ratified. "However, it has now passed all the tests and is ready for shipment." Indescomp expects the 6128 to be available in the US in volume by March. It is being targetted as a cheap business machine in the States, and is being bundled with Wordstar, Mail Merge and Multiplan at $699 for the colour monitor version, and $499 for the monochrome model without the software.
