The CPC6128 launch in USA appears to have been a flop, only two months later, the "US model" (the CPC6128) was sold in europe. And there's little info on how many (if any) CPC6128's were sold in USA. Nethertheless, about a year later, Sears World Trade gave it another try with the Amstrad PCW8256 [http://books.google.de/books?id=Vi8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA11&lpg=PA11&dq=%22sears+world+trade%22+pcw8256&source=bl&ots=VU6kngg7gR&sig=xrxekhj05A3C3-yREE7ghP16I5s&hl=en&ei=r5iPTKSmJYqRswa-_cXjCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBEQ6AEwAA InfoWorld - 7 Jul 1986, page 11].
