Summary: Spectrum is SINCLAIR


These were machines produced by the british firm SINCLAIR (sold to ACORN ?).
The difference between Spectrum and Spectrum+ is the keyboard
i.e. "eraser" vs "real" type keys.
It is a machine using a Z80 running a BASIC interpreter. 16 K ROM
and 48k RAM. It uses a TV set as monitor.
Interfaces : cassette tape for saving and loading programs, and a full
Z80 pin compatible edge connector.

I have been using one for four years now with a lot of pleasure.
