It lives!
#amstrad #pcw 9256 resurrected!
Having got it working then shorted the psu on the floppy housing (🤬), converted to USB-C PD.

Lots of capacitors replaced and the image is almost stable (a few ~100v caps still need doing as I don't have anything above 50v in stock).

Pleased :)

Now just need to make a #cp/m boot disk!

(Back connector on #thingiverse if anyone ever needs)

Anyone know of an #Amstrad #pcw 9256 cp/m disk image anywhere? 3.5" disk, not 3"

Am I right in thinking the 9512+ disks wont boot the 9256 as different rom checksum?
