Hardware
[edit]Console Models
[edit]All consoles were designed to broadcast standard NTSC, have low and high outputs for connecting to a TV and have a universal adapter for connection to the mains 120/230 volts.
The consoles also had a letter coming after the serial number. These letters indicated the color combination of the console. The key is as follows.
- W - white and silver colors

For example, CPC 51W would be a white or silver Zemmix V (see below).
