(Book) Publishers are very concerned about reaching as large a segment of 
the market as possible.  Hence no "Programming in C on your Sinclair" books.
The PC (and Unix) seem to be pretty large common denominators.  Magazine
editors are also concerned, but are limited more by what gets submitted by
authors.  Surprise, there are a lot more technical authors writing C on their
PC's or on Unix systems than on brand Z micros.

If you think that there's a need to be filled by an article about writing
something in C for a non-PC, non-Unix machine, then by all means write one
and submit it for publication!  Better yet, contact your favorite magazines
for style guides, and talk to the editors about your ideas.  Some of the
personal computer magazines are really starved for articles with real
technical content.  Some of them will even pay you.
