Posted on the Amstrad IBM PC compatibles Facebook group par Stéphane LeMochi, here is an 1994 U.K. advertisement for Amstrad computers : PenPad 600 (1993), PCW 10 (1993), Notepad NC100 (1992) and Notepad NC200 (1993), PC série 7486 (1992 or 1993) and 9486. The 9486 PC serie was using Intel processors 486 SX and DX was released in 1994 as stated on the new Amstrad web site (product page), with two documents : first and second PDF with technical informations. I was surprised that the Notepad NC200 was more than three times the price of the Notepad NC100 !
