The <b>PCW</b> (<b>P</b>ersonal <b>C</b>omputer for <b>W</b>riting) was another Amstrad computer. In Germany it's better known by its codename <b>Joyce</b>, which Schneider chose to keep for the final product.
 
The codename was the name of Alan M. Sugar's secretary.
The PCW was the Amstrad computer in production for the longest time(1985 - 1996). And the Amstrad computer with the most model revisions (Starting with the PCW8256 and ending with the PCW16). All models was based on the Z80 CPU.
The PCW was in some ways similar to the CPC range, but also different in many ways.
