/* LK1,LK2,LK3 */
== LK1,LK2,LK3 ==
LK1,LK2,LK3 connect are optional links on the CPC mainboard, connected to [[8255#PPI Port B|PPI Port B]], Bit1-3. The links select the manufacturer distributor name (which is displayed by the BIOS in the power-up boot message).  These LKs exist on all CPC mainboards (in CPC Plus/GX4000 schematics they are named LK101,LK102,LK103). By default, LK1-LK3 are not installed (Amstrad). Other combinations are LK2 installed in german [[Schneider]] models, and LK1+LK2 in australian [[Awa]] models.

* '''Note:''' Some of the brand names seem to include slight mis-spellings: "Awa" and "Orion" are more commonly written all uppercase, "AWA" and "ORION". And, if below speculations are correct, "Isp" and "Triumph" would refer to "ISP KG" and "Triumph-Adler".
* '''Note:''' In CPC Plus schematics they are named LK101,LK102,LK103 - although on the actual CPC Plus mainboard the normal names are used: LK1,LK2,LK3.
