== Introduction ==
The Amstrad CPC (Colour Personal Computer) series was a series of 8-bit home / personal computers that were manufactured by the British company [[Amstrad]] between 1984 (launch of the CPC464: 21st June 1984) and 1993 (?). The CPC, like most contemporary home micros, had an integrated computer-in-a-keyboard design. Also incorporated in the keyboard was the [[Datacorder|tape recorder]] or [[Disk drives|disc drive]].
In general what Amstrad aimed for was to offer a completely integrated solution at a low price. Just as with Amstrad's stereo towers before, [[Alan M. Sugar]] wanted to provide a solution with as few separate components as possible, with as few cables as possible and at as low a price as possible. A truck driver, unfamiliar with computers, was often cited as the CPC's target market.
This clone also had some MSX like hardware which made it possible to run some modified MSX titles. This clone also ran faster than the original CPC.

This expanded clone is the successor of the Aleste. Currently under development.
