    Ok,
    All I have used it for is for playing MegaDrive. It has not got the original amstrad mouse although it has the original white Amstrad joypad & joystick still unused in the box plus another white joypad used. The keyboard is used.
    The sound and picture is great thru the monitor. The Cmos battery is dead.

    That is all I know.

    Offers over £50 please!

    Collection from Leeds (UK) is more than welcome!!!!

    You really should remove that battery as soon as possible. Those old style Ni-Cad batteries leak all over the place, and could potentially render the PC section useless! The keyboard socket's fuckered on my 386 because of one of them...

    All you need to do is yank it out with some pliers.

    Each of the 3 I picked up had icky leaky batteries. The last one I got was actually used in a business, the seller told me he got it from work when they got new ones. His whole office was cheap unsellable Amstrad Mega PCs ;)

    I clipped em all off mine. remember lithium is not good to get on the skin, or in any way get in your body! Use gloves unless you want to boost your cancer risk.,

    These old batteries are Nickel-Cadmium. Though Cadmium poisoning ain't fun either...
