VERY NICE OLD COMPUTER IN A VERY NICE CONDITION. WORKING ORDER.

The Amstrad PPC512 was the first portable IBM PC compatible computers made by Amstrad. Released in 1987, it was a development of the desktop PC-1512 model.
As portable computer, it contained all the elements necessary to perform computing on the move. It had a keyboard and a monochrome LCD display built in and also had space for disposable batteries to power the PC where a suitable alternative power source. The PCs came with two double density double side floppy disc drives.
The PPC512 had an NEC V30 processor running at 8 MHz, 512 KiB of memory, a full-size 102-key keyboard with a numeric keypad, a built-in liquid crystal display that could emulate the CGA or MDA
The PPC included standard connectors for RS-232, Centronics and CGA/MDA video, allowing existing peripherals to be used.[2] All the signals used by the 8-bit ISA bus were also available through a pair of expansion connectors. There was available an external card cage for expansion cards.

Four possible power sources could be used:[8]

Ten C-size alkaline batteries. (10 x 1.5v = 15 volts, but the load was such the voltage dropped to nearer 12 volts in use)
Mains adaptor
Car cigarette lighter
An Amstrad PC-MD, PC-CD or PC-ECD Monitor (These monitors all contained a power supply)
The physical layout of the components was unlike most laptop designs: instead of the lid containing the screen, it contained the keyboard. The hinges were therefore at the front of the main unit, rather than the back. The LCD was hinged separately and folded down into a recess on the top of the system unit. The one or two floppy drives were located on the right-hand side. When closed, the size of the PPC was 45 cm wide × 10 cm high × 23 cm deep.

A bank of six DIP switches was used to select whether the video hardware emulated CGA or MDA, and whether to use an internal or external monitor.

Condition: Very good
