6128 / CPC
As I said on cpczone, I modified all the "CPC " terms in "Amstrad Plus" or "6128 " (even if it is not a "6128 ", but a "6128plus"). For the people who don't know, a small firm (totally unknown regarding to the Amstrad CPC public) sued Amstrad for the use of its "CPC" brandmark. So they had to change this name.
