Solavox

Solavox is an alternative name for the Amstrad found together with other names in the firmware. A jumper on the motherboard could be set and thereby displaying other names when the CPC was switched on. A common example of the this is that Amstrad choose to let Schneider market the CPC in germany.

The Solavox CPC 6128 is a Schneider CPC 6128 (metal inner-cover and centronics connectors) inside a standard Amstrad CPC 6128 case, with British keyboard and Solavox startup. No external Solavox logos or labels, nothing unusual but the sticker on the back, which reads:

Indescomp International U.S.A., inc.

1313 E. Westleigh Rd.

P.O.Box 592, Lake Forest Illinois 60045, U.S.A.

Manufactured: November 1985

Not "Amstrad USA", but "Indescomp USA". May it be another "secret" venture by Jose Luis Dominguez, not known by Amstrad UK...?

There are at least three known Solavox units on Spain, so it seems some of them were marketed here for any strange reason.
