Externally, these CPCs look identical to the English CPCs (with the normal [[Amstrad]] logo above the ESC key).<br>
Internally, [[LK Links|LK1 and LK2]] are shorted, so the BIOS displays ''Awa'' instead of Amstrad in the boot message.<br>

* Awa 128K Microcomputer (for the 6128) (Around 1987/88 1988 this changed to Amstrad)

The Australian variant is much less known than the German variant (which displays [[Schneider]] in the boot message, and which also has a Schneider logo on the keyboard).<br>
