The Amstrad DDI-1 was sold as a set consisting of a DDI-1 (Disk Drive Interface) and an FD-1 3-inch disk drive. It also came with a CP/M 2.2 disk and license. This set was intended for the CPC-464 which did not come with a built-in 765 floppy disk controller. The FD-1 disk drive was also sold separately where it could be used as a secondary drive for the CPC-664, CPC-6128, and as the cable of the DDI had two connectors, a primary and secondary drive could be attached for the CPC-464. The actual drive was a different model to the one contained in the 664 and 6128, but is functionally the same, and is attached to the case in the same way. The interface besides providing a connection to the computer, also contained a ROM chip which has the firmware for the FDD and the CP/M 2.2 disk software.
