        <span class="dato-valor" style="margin-top: 5px; text-align: justify; color: #aaffaa; font-style: italic;">
          Locomotive Software was the architect of Amstrad's software. Without them, the PCW would have been nothing more than hardware; they created its identity through LocoScript and the CP/M 3.0 implementation that redefined 8-bit efficiency.

    <div class="pcw-section-title">Description</div>
    <div style="color: #aaffaa; line-height: 1.6; text-align: justify;">
      <p>Locomotive Software Ltd. was a British software house whose history is intrinsically linked to Amstrad's massive success. Formed by former employees of Data Recall, the company specialized in writing low-level code of astonishing efficiency. Their first major success was the BASIC for the Amstrad CPC 464, but their true masterpiece arrived with the "Joyce" project (Amstrad PCW).</p>
      <p>For the PCW, Locomotive not only developed the <strong>LocoScript</strong> word processor but also wrote much of the firmware and adapted the <strong>CP/M Plus</strong> operating system from Digital Research, optimizing it to take advantage of the PCW's memory bank management. Their focus was always on professional stability, allowing an affordable machine to compete in reliability with much more expensive systems.</p>

  <!-- 5. LEGACY AND PRESERVATION -->
  <div class="pcw-section-box">
    <div class="pcw-section-title">Historical Legacy</div>
    <div style="color: #aaffaa; line-height: 1.6; text-align: justify;">
      <p>Following the cessation of Locomotive's activity, the legacy was picked up by <strong>SD Microsystems</strong> (Steve Denson), who formally acquired the rights to their software in 1999. Thanks to this preservation effort, the official <strong>Script</strong> newsletters and much of the technical software have been released and documented for posterity under free attribution licenses.</p>
