Enclosure specifications
| Exact model / generation | Amstrad CPC 6128, 128-KiB keyboard computer, 1985; distinguish CPC 6128 from 464/664 and monitor bundles. |
|---|---|
| External dimensions | Approximately 41.0 × 25.0 × 7.0 cm (W × D × H) for the computer unit only; GT65/CTM monitor or external drive adds separate footprint and cables. |
| Form factor / board layout | Low-profile keyboard computer with proprietary board and integrated 3-inch disk mechanism; monitor is external and often provided power to the computer. |
| Proprietary power supply | CPC 6128 has no ATX PSU: its DC power is normally supplied through the model-specific monitor power cable/adapter arrangement. Match voltage, polarity and CPC/monitor version; do not connect an arbitrary supply. |
| External bays / ports | No standard expansion bays. Rear expansion and disk connectors accept external CPC-specific peripherals; the monitor is a separate enclosure. |
| Internal bays / mounts | One integrated 3-inch disk drive behind the computer’s drive opening; no standard PC bay. |
| Service / compatibility | Use the CPC6128 service manual and user instructions; verify monitor type, regional power arrangements, drive belt and board revision. Preserve keyboard clips and fragile case plastics. |
| Revision identification | The 6128 includes a built-in disk unit and 128-KiB memory, unlike the CPC 464 tape model and 664. Bundled monitor/power configurations vary by market. |
