Amstrad PPC 640 / 512 RetroView from Retro-Zone.Org

I was given one when I was with ICL 22 years ago. It was primitive, the screen was dire, and running Windows 2 and apps involved a lot of floppy-juggling, but it had a full-size keyboard and I could work from home with the internal modem AND I was the first in our team to get MS Word 5 (for DOS) working, ahead of the rest with their desktop PCs. After I customised it with a 20Mb HDD in place of one of the FDDs, and of course a CRT monitor, it became quite a sanitary PC. Thanks for the memories!

wasn't a difference between the PPC512 and PPC640 also that the PPC512 had 512kb RAM and the PPC640 had 640kb of RAM?

@robotwo as well as thr RAM difference The PPC640 also came with a built in modem. The case colours were also different.

I've never seen a computer like this before in my life. The only "PPC" computer I've used in my life was an Apple computer somewhat called PPC "PowerPC".

Now this is an odd rarity!
