	Grundy NewBrain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Grundy NewBrain was a microcomputer sold in the early-1980s by Grundy Business Systems Ltd of Teddington and Cambridge, England.
		When it became obvious to Sinclair that the NewBrain could not be made for the sub-£100 price he envisaged his thoughts turned to the ZX80 that was to be developed by his other company, Science of Cambridge Ltd.
		The NewBrain project was moved to Newbury Laboratories by the National Enterprise Board (NEB), the owner of both Sinclair Radionics and Newbury Labs.

		The decline in fortune of what was one of Sir Clive Sinclair's earliest companies, led to a major investment by the NEB (National Enterprise Board), who as time went on, increasingly controlled the company, which eventually prompted Sinclair to leave.
		Grundy in their original Newbrain Beginner's Guide unfortunately gave reference to the availability of an expansion unit, enabling vast quantaties of memory (up to 2Mb of paged RAM), a disc interface and the aforementioned battery pack.
		I have subsequently repaired two more Newbrains, using the same method, that is to replace the two 10 microFarad capacitors controlling the reset circuit.

		There were three Newbrain models, the A, AD and M. Newbrain A had no built-in VFD screen (but a fl plastic patch where the screen should be); Newbrain AD had the VFD screen but no battery pack; and Newbrain M was a Newbrain AD sold with the battery pack.
		This left Newbrain in obscurity, which is a pity as it was a good machine with a very interesting pedigree.
		One of the Newbrain's main features was its adaptability to different languages and locales.

		Der NewBrain ist einer der Pechvögel der Homecomputergeschichte.
		Auf Betreiben von Clive Sinclair wurde diese Entscheidung revidiert und eine Auswahl aus den damals verfügbaren britischen Homecomputern getroffen.
		Die meisten NewBrains wurden wohl an Bildungseinrichtungen verkauft, abgesehen von England offenbar auch in Holland.

		The Grundy NewBrain was originally designed by Sinclair Radionics and had a checkered history.
		The Newbrain was a keyboard-based unit in three versions.
		It is based around the Z80A processor at 4MHz with a minimum 2K RAM with up to 20K on board a external expansion unit can take this up to 4M.

		At one time, the NewBrain was in line to be the BBC computer, but design problems and the change in ownership caused the BBC to look elsewhere.
		The NewBrain AD, which contains a 1-line, 16-character fluorescent display, was complemented by a no-display cheaper version sold £30 less, the NewBrain A.
		A third model, called Newbrain M included a battery-backup option (and the LCD screen) so it can be used as a handheld computer.

	Grundy New Brain

		The Newbrain is a keyboard based unit in two versions (The Model A above and the Model AD Below.
		A proud owner of a Newbrain model AD, who supplied not only the PSU details but also a copy of the manual and a book called the Newbrain files.

	Home built NewBrain Page
		As already mentioned on the history page, I purchased all the component parts of a working Newbrain A, from the original Greenweld Company, then based in the outskirts of Southampton.
		The main board and key board are bolted together, with two nuts forming the separator, together with the sheet of corrugated cardboard, rather than the paxoline used in the production machines.
		The extra thickness produced by using sockets for the RAM, together with the SIL connectors, rather than ribbon cable, probably make the asssembly too thick to go in a Newbrain plastic case.

		Quite why the NEB moved Newbrain development to Newbury Labs I haven't found out yet.
		Roll forward a bit and we find that Newbury Labs seemed to be the BBC's (the corporation, not the machine) sole supplier for their forthcoming BBC Micro and their TV series on computing ("The Computer Programme").
		In common with most other machines of the day, the prototype Newbrain was a Z80 based machine with 32K RAM and pretty smart graphics capabilities.

	Chris Curry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Curry took Nat Semi up on its offer and in June 1978 Science of Cambridge launched a microcomputer kit (marketed as the MK14) based around the National SC/MP chip.
		Curry wanted to further develop the MK14 but Sinclair was working on the NewBrain.
		Sinclair's reluctance to develop the MK14 led Curry to consider his options.

		I understand you're a very, very busy woman!
		Sellam and everyone else -- Apparently the NewBrain was announced in '80 but was mostly vaporware until '82.
		At least that's what I gather so far.

		After the museum's appearance in Silicon.com I was contacted by Kate Grant, the wife of the man who's ultimately responsible for me sitting here typing this now - John Grant of Nine Tiles.
		As seen below, John was responsible for the ROM code of the ZX80; he also had a part in the ZX81 ROM code and Spectrum firmware as well as doing bits for the Grundy Newbrain, another well specced but poorly received machine.
		Hopefully more news to come on this soon, but in the meantime hats off to John and Kate!

		I've been interested in computers since 1981 when I bought my first computer (a Sinclair ZX81).
		I moved onto a UK101 which was a kit computer, then a Grundy Newbrain, an Amstrad 6128, An Amstrad PC1512 which started an eighteen year affair with Microsoft,MSDOS and Windows.
		In March 2005, sick of the malware that that infested the Windows World, I bought (to review initially) an Apple Mac Mini.
