All versions of [http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=84 CPC 464] keyboards including Arnold 1 (according to [http://genesis8.free.fr/amstrad/faq/amstrad.php#A comp.sys.amstrad.8bit FAQ]) version with big "AMSTRAD" letters printed onto the keyboard, like the one shown on the photo. Also with the "[http://cpctech.cpc-live.com/docs/costdown.html Cost-Down]" version as well doesn't have a socket to remove and replace Operating System ROM chips, instead all the legs are soldiered on and its impossible to remote it straight away, unless you know how to de-soldier - 31/6/05.<BR>

Simply exchange your CPC 464 keyboard to Amstrad Specialist (Arthur) for another CPC 464 keyboard with CPC 6128 ROM chip fitted. (That's what I didon 12-10-00, by the way, as I was rushing to get home from Worthing and that time, I didn't know how to replace Operating System ROMs) or ask him to do it for you and paid for it, of course. <BR>

Note:
This idea originally comes from [http://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org/amstrad/ David Cantrell's CPC 464] at [http://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org Obsolete Computer Museum] but he didn't write out the instructions how to do it like I did. Its took me months of research to work out how it works on my own CPC 464 one by one and writing it out on rough paper, after I have looked at his web site for the first time and thinking that "Wow! That's what I always wanted on my CPC 464" while I was searching for Amstrad CPC 464 Specs on Internet. Now its here on this web site and I'm very proud that it works perfectly on my expanded CPC 464.<BR><BR>== Links == [http://www.retrocomputers.eu/2012/06/25/amstrad-cpc464-upgraded-to-a-cpc6128-how-to/ How to convert a Amstrad CPC464 into a CPC6128. | Retro Computers]
