View source for Amstrad 2000 Series PCs

The [[Amstrad]] 2000 Series of PCs, launched in 1989, consisted of:

*[[Amstrad PC2086|PC2086]], XT-class 8086, 640KB RAM, [[VGA]] graphics
*[[Amstrad PC2286|PC2286]], AT-class 80286, 1MB RAM, [[VGA]] graphics, 40MB Hard Drive
*[[Amstrad PC2386|PC2386]], 80386DX, 4MB RAM, [[VGA]] graphics, 65MB Hard Drive

The systems were designed with an on-board disk controller, but shipped with [[Western Digital 1006 RLL Controllers]] due to problems with the onboard design which were later proved (in Court) to be due to errors by [[Seagate]].

One of the few patents IBM held on the original PC was on the keyboard interface.  [[Amstrad]], unlike many other clone manufacturers, respected this patent and hence the systems shipped with a [[Amstrad Keyboard Interface|proprietry keyboard interface]].
