All my current files for the system and my book / manual scans. Let me know if the link goes dead.

Just a video of my first Amstrad Mega PC, also shows my parallel port CD-Rom drive I use with it.

As I say in the video I haven't done anything with this machine since the first video I made on it back in 2010.

But since then I purchased a second unit, which came with the Amstrad keyboard, mouse, megadrive joypad, joystick and the manuals, but sadly no software. Youtube user raylyd asked me recently for a copy of CounterPoint, the GUI Amstrad installed on it but it seems now I no longer have a copy, and the few links I had which had them have now gone dead, so anyone can help me out there?

It took ages to get the thing working right again, for some reason it wouldn't boot from the floppy drive until I reloaded all default BIOS settings, then set the hard drive settings to none. Then it would boot from a floppy.

I've now got DOS6.22, Win3.1 installed. Win32's, WinG and WinRAR installed. Might play around with my second one for a bit. But will probably do a quick disassembley video, not sure.
