The Amstrad CPC 6128 was the successor to the CPC 664

Like the other it was sold with a choice of 3 display options:

• Colour monitor;
• Greenscreen monitor;
• TV Modulator.

The computer drew its power, and the power for the disk drive from the monitor (or TV modulator). Amstrad had a ethos that the entire computer setup should be powered from a single 13A plug.

The built in disk drive made loading and saving programs very quick and reliable.

It had a full QWERTY keyboard and a numeric keypad which doubled as function keys. It also had a cluster of arrow keys.

It had 128k of memory built in. This was expandable via a RAM pack which plugged into the expansion socket on the back of the computer.

Some of the peripherals that were available were:

• Amstrad Speech Synthesizer & amplifier (SSA-1)
• Amstrad Disk-Drive Interface (with drive) (DDI-1)
• Amstrad Floppy Drive (second drive for DDI-1) (FD-1)
• Amstrad Light pen
• DK-Tronics Light pen
• AMX Mouse
• Amstrad RS232c interface
• Multiface 1
