CPC464 version 1 (A and B)

CPC464 pcb r1.jpg

  • Board: PT NO Z70100, Copyright 1983
  • Original version. Big mainboard, old Gate Array (with cooling plate). Real wires going to keyboard.

Note: There's also another very similar (older or newer) board:

  • Board: PT NO 270100 (this one is 270100, not Z70100), MC0001A, Copyright 1983

CPC464 version 2

  • Board: PT NO Z70200, MC0002D, Copyright 1984
  • Big mainboard, separate soldering points for old and new Gate Array (with changed pin-outs). Fragile plastic wires going to keyboard.

CPC464 version 3

  • Board: PT NO Z70374, MC0044A
  • Medium sized mainboard. Seems to be same as Revision 1, but components arranged more tightly.

CPC464 version 4 (cost-down)

CPC464 pcb r3.jpg

  • Board: PT NO Z80329, Copyright 1988
  • Tiny mainboard. Uses 100pin SMD Gate Array (combines the old Gate Array, CRTC, and some FDC/DRAM/RESET logic in one chip).

CPC664

CPC664 PCB Top.jpg

  • Board: PT NO Z70205, MC0005A

CPC6128 version 1

  • Board: PT NO Z70210

CPC6128 version 2

  • Board: PT NO Z70250

CPC6128 version 3

CPC6128 version 4 (cost-down)

  • Board: PT NO Z80330 (1988)

Tiny mainboard. Uses 100pin SMD Gate Array (combines the old Gate Array and PAL, CRTC, and some FDC/DRAM/RESET logic in one chip).

CPC 464+/6128+

  • Same mainboard is used in 464+ and 664+ (though not all components installed in 464+, and with different LK Links. Uses 160pin SMD Gate Array (ASIC).

GX4000
