Schneider CPC 464
In 1984 Amstrad introduced the CPC 464 as a competition to the commodore 64, with numeric keyboard and integrated cassette drive. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland the Amstrad computers were marketed until 1988 by Schneider Computer Division under their own name. In 1985 the CPC 664 and 6128 were added, instead of a cassette drive they had an integrated floppy disk drive of the exotic 3"/80mm format.
The CPC was delivered either with a green (as seen here) or with a colour monitor. At that era the resolution of colour monitors was not very high and for "serious work" a monochrome monitor was recommended. In the 1970s/80s green, or sometimes amber, was considered pleasant to the eyes. But as you see clearly the contrast was not good, even "black" appeared medium green and some colours resulted in very low contrast.
Seen on an exhibition of old computers in Linz.
