CRG | RESTORING and UPGRADING this Amstrad PC 2086/30 @CRG | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Remember the Amstrad XT we looked at back in MAY... well its been lying in pieces on my bench since getting retrobrightened and I think its finally about time we put it back together.

Since the case is looking all nice and fresh again, lets do the same with the software and restore that back to its factory state and then let's throw some upgrades at it.
