[[Orion]] is one the [[LK-selectable Brand Names]] contained in the CPC BIOS, allowing to display the boot message '''Orion 64K Microcomputer''' on power up. Amstrad apparently planned a partnership with a company with that name.
As far as At least one "Orion" branded CPC is known, the partnership didn't worked in that direction - there to have been no CPCs sold using the Orion brandin Shenzhen, China. However, It is unknown if it worked was meant for the opposite way around: The [[CTM640/CTM644]] and [[GT64/GT65]] monitors contain cathode ray tubes Chinese market, Asian market, or imported from OrionHong Kong.

== '''Orion and ISP KG''' The ISP KG acts eurorean retailer for japanese ORION products (from 1975 until today), mentioned here because the CPC BIOS also includes [[Isp]] as selectable brand name, which may refer to ISP KG. '''Orion Electric (Germany/Japan) ==and Orion Electronics (Hungary)''' Confusingly, there are two ORIONs, both using nearly identical logos, and both spanning a nearly identical range of products. For example, both are selling television sets with the ORION brand name. Orion (Hungary), founded in 1913, has confirmed that they are '''not''' related with each other. The [[LK-selectable Brand Names#Interview|Cliff Lawson Interview]] isn't perfectly clear which company they were referring to: It only says "far east", but not how far. Considering that the CPC and GX4000 were manufactured in Korea and Japan, it's quite obvious that "far east" meant east Asia to Amstrad; Hungary is central Europe, and it couldn't even really be called east Europe. [[Category:CPC_related_companies]] Note by dragon: Orion was the manufacturer of amstrad computers/monitor/keyboards and printers, not only the cpc range, the pc range to. This can be extrated from the spanish boe. (the official boletin of spanish goverment). Back in 80, as was a imported product amstrad need obtain permison of the goverment to import it.
