Thanks for the insights on the Amstrad. It's a bit before my computing experience! If it has to boot from floppy then I guess it is a duff system disk that's the problem. 'll have to have a look inside to see if there is an HD but from looking at the link, seems not as standard...
This does not surprise me somehow. I actually got a stack with the system disk, so I think I'm good for retro storage. Oddly, NIB disks seem to go for reasonable money these days if you had such things.
