* '''Amstrad CPC 464 with new logo and grey keys'''
* Normally grey keys were found only on german Schneider models, not on Amstrad 464.
* Possibly this is a late german model (made after the Schneider/Amstrad partnership ended)...?
* Though [http://www.homecomputer.de/pages/f_info.html?Amstrad_CPC464_grey.html this link] says it's "most common" in UK...?
* Btw. better "non-diagonal" picture would be nice.

Early french models had french plaques on the keyboard and tape/disc drive, but still had english QWERTY keyboards. The french AZERTY keyboards were invented around 1986.

'''Special Symbols'''
* chr(40h) "à" instead "@"
* chr(7Dh) "è" instead "}"
* chr(82h) "°" instead umlaut symbol
Changed chr(7Ch) means RSX commands become ùCPM instead |CPM. The keyboard itself does have both "ù" and "|" keys, but, the default BIOS/BASIC tables do map "ù" to both of them.
<br style="clear:both;">
= Notes =
* According to soft968 the official language variants are: English, Spanish, French and Danish. And, presumably, English was official, too.
* Although french/danish charsets don't support "|", even newer user manuals (like french cpc+ manual from 1990) still refer to RSX commands as "|CPM" and describe to press shift+"@" to get the "|".
