So much nostalgia. The CPC6128 was my first computer back in the mid 80s so I’ve got a lot of love for it - including these discs. The little tab switch on the top I could stuff with paper if I wanted to make an unwritable system disc into something I could use to store that game my cousin had.

They came back to nz from a trip in the uk with a load of games on tape and we didn’t have a tape machine. As a workaround I pulled my sisters ghetto blaster and the amstrad apart so I could hot-wire the two together so I could play Gryzor (Contra). Doesn’t get much more 80s than that.
