'''Solavox''' is also included in the CPCs alternative manufacturer names, which are predefined in the BIOS ROM, and are jumper-selectable via [[8255\|PPI Port B]].

	Of these pre-defined brand names, only [[Amstrad]], [[Schneider]] (~~german~~ distributor) and [[Awa]] (~~australian~~ distributor) were used. Another distributor was [[Indescomp]] (~~spain~~), this company wasn't included in the BIOS ROM, and so, Indescomp CPCs usually displayed [[Amstrad]] in the boot message, for some reason (maybe ~~accidently~~) a few Indescomp CPCs displayed [[Solavox]].
