I've added a spare matching keyboard from my accessories collection to go with it, as well giving it a thorough good clean and finishing it off with 'Pledge' Multi-Surface Polish Clean & Dust spray - looking like new!.
I always wanted one of these GEM hard drives for my [[User:Jonathanen#December_1991.2A_-_expanded_to_PCW_8512_spec._.283.29|Amstrad PCW 8256]] but it was very hard to find and get hold of one, it was extremely very expensive back in the days and people can only afford 20MB HDD version. Fortunately, I was very lucky and got the full 40MB version at long last, costing new well over £500 (excluding the PCW monitor) including many 100's of pounds worth of software programs on this hard drive!!
