	ZX Spectrum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sinclair ZX Spectrum was a home computer released in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Sinclair Research.
		The Spectrum had an interesting method of handling colour; the colour attributes were held in a 32×24 grid, separate from the text or graphical data, but was still limited to only two colours in any given character cell, both of which had to be either bright or non-bright.
		Sinclair licensed the Spectrum design to Timex which produced their own, largely incompatible, derivatives.

	Rune's PC-Museum - Sinclair ZX Spectrum Page
		The Spectrum comes in a 16 k model and a 48 k model, this is the 48 k model.
		The Spectrum uses a "superset" of ZX-81 Basic, and any ZX-81 program can be typed in with the minimum of changes; ZX-81 tapes cannot be loaded into the Spectrum.
		Sinclair ZX Spectrum was replaced in 1984 by the Spectrum + and in 1985 by the Spectrum 128.

		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.
		In September the Sinclair TV80 television was launched, using flat-screen technology unlike Sinclair's previous CRT televisions, the TV80 was a commercial failure only selling 15,000 units and not covering its development costs of Â£4m.

	Planet Sinclair: Computers: ZX Spectrum
		Sinclair's standing rose so high that in 1983 Margaret Thatcher personally presented a Spectrum to the Japanese Prime Minister as a symbol of British technological prowess (although this turned out to be more of a symbol of Thatcherite hubris).
		The Spectrum continued to sell into the early 1990s, but by about 1992 it had been squeezed out by the more advanced 16-bit computers and the cheap but more capable Sega and Nintendo games consoles.
		Spectrum emulators can be found on almost any modern computer and several palmtop devices, and many thousands of Spectrum programs have been converted to emulator formats.

		The ZX81 was not the first microcomputer but it was certainly the most affordable, but it wasn't until the Sinclair Spectrum that computers really started to make an appearance in the home.
		The Sinclair C5 was a battery powered one-seater tricycle which could reach a maximum speed of 15 mph, requiring pedal power for starting and uphill travel.

		Sinclair announced the ZX Spectrum in April 1982 in two versions: one with 16K and one with 48K RAM.
		Sinclair almost received more complaints than orders, and Clive was forced to apologize personally in a letter to his clients.

	Sinclair Spectrum
		Such a computer would have to be well designed—the Spectrum used a single chip to output color, which Sir Sinclair thought compared quite well to the mess of chips on the primitive IBM PCs of the day.
		A character in William Gibson’s recent novel Pattern Recognition whom states that Sinclair’s little machine, with its reliance on user-inputted BASIC programs, and the subsequent fiddling around by Britons from every age segment of the population is wholly responsible for a present-day surplus of programmers resident in the British Isles.
		The Spectrum was quite sparse of RAM, with the default model locked in at 16K after the expansion pack (the regular version had 1K RAM!) Later revisions of the affordable computer had 48K and 128K available.

		The fact that the 48k Spectrum had more memory and was half the price of the BBC, combined with the loyal Sinclair following that had been weaned on the ZX80 and ZX81 meant that pre-release demand for the Spectrum hugely out matched supply.
		The Spectrum was compatible with the Sinclair ZX Printer, originally released for use with the ZX81.
		The one annoyance was that you couldn't have the Microspeech and a regular joystick adaptor connected to the Spectrum at the same time unless you bought a clumsy splitter unit.

		The Spectrum loading software is not sensitive to the polarity of this bit (which it definitely should not be, not only because of this model difference, but also because you cannot be sure the tape recorder doesn't change the polarity of the signal recorded!).
		This is the mode the Spectrum is normally in.
		The normal Spectrum contains no hardware to place a byte on the bus, and the bus will therefore always read FF (because the ULA also doesn't read the screen if it generates an interrupt), so the resulting index address is 256*I+255.

		At the present stage of development it has been tested and found to work with every official Sinclair, Timex and Amstrad produced Spectrum compatible including the modified ZX Spectrum +3e.
		Therefore if you are going to use a Spectrum clone, you must own a genuine Sinclair, Timex, or Amstrad produced machine (including the e-m@iler+) or we cannot provide you with support.

		They weren’t popular for their outstanding graphics (in fact, most spectrum games looked like original gameboy games or had vibrating lego bricks from hell splattered across the screen), or their musical capabilities (although later spectrums had a decent sound chip, the first ones only had a piezo buzzer to play with).
