Changes
Founded in February 1983, Locomotive Software was the software house which developed the CPC's [[BASIC ]] and [[operating system]], and played a pivotal role in other Amstrad home computers of the time. The company was founded by [[Richard Clayton]] and [[Chris Hall]].
Their first contract was to write a Z80 BASIC for Acorn's abortive ABC business computer project. This BASIC would prove pivotal in their future history, gaining them the 'in' for Amstrad's first computer.
