/* Description */
* The CPC472 itself was sold for '''how many?''' pesetas ('''how many?''' euros)
Because there was no space for a new chip, Amstrad designers took off the ROM chips, and put it in a daughter board, along with the extra 4164 RAM chip. Wires connected pins at the ROM from the daughter board to the corresponding pins on the main board. The wires were hard enough to make difficult to turn the daughter board over and reveal the trick: no wires were connected from the DRAM chip to the main board. Even the supply pins were not connected!!
The CPC 472 with spanish or british keyboard is very very rare.
