I remember our first computer we had as a family back in 1993. (I was 6 then). A friend gave it us, so it must have been an old one then.
This might be it. I typed in Amstrad 1985 after various other dates) on the net and this looks like it. Not sure on the specs - wasn't what I understood back then. I used to love loading up those tapes (took a good 15 minutes!) to play games.

lol! Still amazes me that we still use the same sized floppies as went in that drive on the keyboard - I thought that they were so advanced over tapes back then!
Several entries came up with "6128" - could that be its name?
It's the Amstrad computer...
Amongst my vast collection of computers I have the "Tape" version of the Amstrad....the "Amstrad CPC 464*"....
...and the floppy disks were non-standard in those days...3 inch instead of the modern 3-1/2 disks...

...!
I also have a floppy disk drive for my Spectrum 48K as well as the usual tape machine...and the "Microdrive...!!
My computers date from 1979 (Apple 2E) onwards...
Paul...!
