-    <p>The AMX Mouse is a pointing device that interfaces with the PCW via a custom adapter unit that slots into the expansion port.</p>
+    <p>The <strong>AMX Mouse</strong> (originally marketed as a core component of the <em>AMX Desktop System</em>) was the most revolutionary, influential, and commercially successful pointing input peripheral in the history of the <strong>Amstrad PCW 8256 / 8512</strong> (and the subsequent Schneider Joyce series in the German market). Launched in mid-1986 at a bundle price of <strong>£69.95</strong> and developed by the prestigious British engineering firm <strong>Advanced Memory Systems (AMS) Ltd.</strong>, this three-button optomechanical hardware disrupted the rigid paradigm of a purely keyboard-driven office computer, transforming the PCW into an interactive graphical workstation suitable for artistic drawing and advanced desktop publishing (DTP).</p>

+    <p>At the physical hardware level, the mouse did not utilize a standard serial connection. Instead, the package included the <strong>AMX Interface</strong>, a dedicated external expansion bus controller module that plugged directly into the rear edge connector slot of the computer's mainboard. Advanced Memory Systems designed the hardware to be completely pass-through: the interface housing replicated the electric signal lines of the expansion bus via an integrated rear connector to preserve the native Amstrad dot-matrix printer capabilities. Concurrently, it injected a standard <strong>Centronics parallel port</strong> (enabling links to third-party Epson dot-matrix or early professional laser printers) and an <strong>Atari-standard DE-9 9-pin joystick port</strong> directly into the PCW layout.</p>
-  <div class="pcw-subtitle-box">Hardware Architecture</div>
+    <p>Regarding the technical low-level register architecture of the 8-bit <strong>Z80</strong> microprocessor, the AMX interface protocol stands out for its synchronous simplicity. The expansion board did not integrate an intelligent processing chip; instead, it dumped the mechanical switch states and optical counters directly onto specific Input/Output base addresses (I/O Ports):</p>
+    <ul>
+      <li><strong>Button and Joystick Control Port (0A0h / &HA0):</strong> The digital lines of the alternative Atari joystick and the three mechanical mouse switches were intercepted by sharing this port under active-low logic (a binary 0 logic state flags an active contact to ground or a switch depression):</li>
+      <ul>
+        <li><b>Bit 7:</b> Mouse Left Button state (returns a 0 value when pressed).</li>
+        <li><b>Bit 6:</b> Mouse Middle Button state (returns a 0 value when pressed).</li>
+        <li><b>Bit 5:</b> Mouse Right Button state (returns a 0 value when pressed).</li>
+        <li><b>Bit 4:</b> Up Direction / Fire Button of the alternative Atari-specification joystick.</li>
+        <li><b>Bit 3:</b> Down Direction of the alternative Atari-specification joystick.</li>
+        <li><b>Bit 2:</b> Left Direction of the alternative Atari-specification joystick.</li>
