Below is a copy of the Amstrad CPC Hardware List from http://www.retroisle.com/amstrad/cpc/Articles/hwlist.php (as of 10th August 2010).

Purpose of this page is to verify which items are listed on cpcwiki.

Accordingly, this page is (intentionally) messy, not sorted by categories, and does contain duplicated items. For a better sorted page, see Peripherals.
