  Sinclair Research Ltd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sinclair Research Ltd was a home computer company founded by Sir Clive Sinclair in Cambridge, England (originally as Sinclair Radionics in 1961) to sell hi-fi equipment, calculators, radios and other products.
Sinclair attempted to capture the top-end calculator market with the Sinclair Sovereign, available in plated gold or silver, it was critically acclaimed for its excellent engineering and design and enjoyed short success.
Curry was impressed and encouraged Sinclair to adopt this as a product; an agreement was reached with Williamson but no contract was ever signed, Nat Semi had offered to redesign the project so that it used only their components and they also offered to manufacture the boards.

 Planet Sinclair: Computers: QL
The early promise of the Sinclair QL was rapidly undone by the disastrous technical and production difficulties which the machine encountered in its first months on the market.
As had happened on so many previous occasions, Sinclair's delivery systems and quality control were seriously deficient; frustrated owners waited months for their machines only to find, in many cases, that when they eventually arrived they did not work properly.
On the Sinclair QL I continued to program in assembly (the QL BASIC (SuperBasic) was ok, but I wasn't interested), and I wrote various more-or-less useless programs (ranging from a FORTH compiler and an editor-assembler system of my own to Pac-Man to a MSDOS compatible floppy disk driver).

The machine was shipped in two versions: as a traditional self-assembly kit (right) and, more popularly, as a ready-assembled machine which only needed to be connected to a television and power supply before it could be used.
By February 1982, Sinclair Research was making over 40,000 ZX81s a month and still could not keep up with the demand.
Most were seen off relatively quickly - machines such as the Oric-1 and Dragon 32 failed to make much impact - but some of the competitors, such as Acorn (itself founded by ex-Sinclair employees), survived and prospered.

Her main research interests were in developmental psycholinguistics, where her contributions ranged from the creation of innovative experimental means of investigation to the insightful empirical and theoretical treatment of fundamental issues.
Sinclair and Stambak conclude that children’s peer interactions would "exert a positive influence on the children’s socio-cognitive development, as much as, or possibly more than, the detachment from the hic et nunc and the comprehension of the duality of fictional roles stressed by other authors" (Sinclair and Stambak, 1993, p.

As well as all of these different product versions, no less than thirteen different versions of the basic hardware appeared during the six years that the Spectrum was produced.

The two custom chips were designed by Sinclair Research; one takes charge of the display and memory, and the other controls the Microdrives, the real-time clock, the local area network (LAN) and the RS232C transmission.
High street retail outlets will be used to market the QL later in the year, and support for this is expected from the manufacturers of the machine, Thorn- EMI, who expect to be ramping up their production to 20,000 units by the summer of this year.
But that said, it's claimed that anyone proficient in Sinclair Basic should have no problem finding their way round SuperBasic; and the fact that the new language is fully procedure structured, extendable, and its execution speed is independent of program size, certainly seems to make the effort worthwhile.
