Amstrad PPC512/640

The Amstrad PPC512 and Amstrad PPC640 were the first portable IBM PC compatible computers made by Amstrad. Released in 1988, they were a development of the desktop PC-1512 and PC-1640 models. As portable computers, they contained all the elements necessary to perform computing on the move. They had a keyboard and a monochrome LCD display built in and also had space for disposable batteries to power the PC where a suitable alternative power source (i.e. mains or 12 volt vehicle power) was not available. The PCs came with either one or two double density double side floppy disc drives and the PPC640 model also featured a modem. Both models were supplied with 'PPC Organiser' software and the PPC640 was additionally supplied with the 'Mirror II' communications software.

Query99: Is there any way to get emails off an old emailer? It will be going for recycling and I would like to keep a few messages and delete the rest! Any other advice about removing data before recycling? Thanks. Apr 24, 2021 13:47:49 GMT

T2: Hi folks. Just found a e-mailer plus. If memory serves we didn’t use it. Would anyone like it before it goes to the recycle place? Based West London Sept 1, 2020 17:05:11 GMT

Spanner: jimtheglim No I don't think so, maybe if you do it quickly, when I took them out it would wipe the memory in the Pocket Dock it. Jul 8, 2020 20:39:58 GMT

jimtheglim: Hi Spanner, if I change the batteries on my pocket dock-it, will the device retain the names/numbers in its memory whilst I do this' or do I have to somehow keep it all energised whilst I transfer batteries? Thanks May 3, 2020 11:46:02 GMT

Spanner: Where is E3 Linux 2.6.35, when can you download it..? amstrad-e3-hacking.freeforums.net/thread/7/support-status-update?page=1&scrollTo=93 Apr 21, 2019 11:03:55 GMT

Spanner: ...On the screen,3. ZX Spectrum Emulator,but I need help,I don't know how it install stuff I use to how Linux is now and installing from a repository.I NEED HELP and the Linux on the E3 is very old now so getting prorams to work is going to be hard..? Apr 21, 2019 10:04:51 GMT

Spanner: The only thing I can use the E3 for well 3 things,1 some how make it read email,2. get it to show a picture or gif animated on the screen so it can show it old adverts,yes I have them as gifs files,I have about 8 of them,they would look good coming up... Apr 21, 2019 10:00:11 GMT

Spanner: OK sorted it out now, (thanks to Ollie), will I be able to use these files to put the Amstrad firmware back on the E3 at all..? Apr 21, 2019 9:54:52 GMT

Spanner: No there is no settings to change return button as send,just press return and write next part in next message,only other way is to type the message in notepad then copy and paste it here,but that very long winded. Apr 21, 2019 9:52:58 GMT

Spanner: Thanks BTW Apr 20, 2019 12:33:27 GMT

Spanner: Yes that worked the size of it is 3.7 mb now not 3.8 mb so it must of removed OOB blocks then...

How do you like the forum,I look into changing the return button Apr 20, 2019 12:32:15 GMT

Ollie: The reply box is taking <return> as [send rather than newline - can that be changed? Apr 20, 2019 9:49:03 GMT

Ollie: 3) in that directory, execute /usr/bin/python3 nand-oob-strip e3-nand-backup.0 e3-nand.0. That works. Apr 20, 2019 9:42:41 GMT

Ollie: 2) put nand-oob-strip and e3-nand-backup.0 in the same directory Apr 20, 2019 9:41:43 GMT

Ollie: 1) Never sudo unless necessary - in this case it isn't. Apr 20, 2019 9:39:44 GMT
