	Sinclair ZX Spectrum
		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.
		Released by Sinclair in 1982 and available with either 16 kB (£125, later £99) or 48 kB (£175, later £129) of RAM and 16 kB ROM, the original ZX Spectrum is remembered for its rubber keyboard and diminutive size.
		Although the case reads "ZX Spectrum +2", the +2A/B is easily distinguishable from the original +2 as the case was restored to the standard Spectrum fl.

	ZX Spectrum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ZX Spectrum is a home computer released in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Sinclair Research Ltd. Originally dubbed the ZX82, the machine was later renamed the ZX Spectrum by Sinclair to highlight the machine's colour display, compared to the fl-and-white of its predecessor, the Sinclair ZX81.
		The ZX Spectrum +2 was Amstrad's first Spectrum, coming shortly after their purchase of the Spectrum range and "Sinclair" brand in 1986.
		as the ZX Spectrum expansion bus was backwards-compatible with that of the ZX81.

	SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM - the good, old speccy
		Sinclair sold millions of it - the ZX Spectrum became the most successful computer in the UK and one of the most successful computers in the rest of Europe.
		Sinclair announced the ZX Spectrum in April 1982 in two versions: one with 16K and one with 48K RAM.
		The ZX Spectrum got a for the most part positive reception by the computer magazines, but of course also this time there were critical voices.

		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).

	SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM+, the new 'Speccy'
		A fully suitable name, because the 'Plus' was nothing more then a face lifted normal ZX Spectrum, the big bang for Sinclair that was launched two years before.
		Another difference with the first Spectrum was the reset button on the left side of the case, which made it almost impossible to reset accidentally.
		Sinclair had several reasons to facelift the first model of the ZX Spectrum.

		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.

		Originally, the ZX Spectrum could only connect to Sinclair's ZX Printer, or later compatible printers, which connected direct to the Spectrum's expansion port and printed on heat sensitive (silver) paper by the means of fine wires which heated up to burn an image on the paper.

		The Spectrum+, released in October 1984, was a stop-gap produced to refresh the Spectrum at a time when the home computer market as a whole was suffering a slowdown.
		Sinclair's own surveys showed that the Spectrum's peculiar rubber keyboard was a serious turnoff for prospective users.

		The ZX Interface 1 was released by Sinclair Research in 1983 to provide a faster means of storage, RS232 interface and network port for the ZX Spectrum.
		The storage is provided by ZX Microdrives which can be chained together (up to 8 units) and use the same technology as was implemented for the Sinclair QL's built in microdrives (as well as on the ICL One Per Desk and Merlin Tonto computers).

	arrgh: sinclair zx spectrum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		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.
		Although the ZX Printer was much cheaper than the dot-matrix and daisywheel printers of the time, paper costs were high, and the odd, narrow silver paper made it unsuitable for anything other than printing out short BASIC listings.

		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.

		The keyboard was very unusual as with most Sinclair machines.
		In 1982 there were no 32 Kbit RAM chips available there were however 16Kbit and 64 Kbit, Sinclair could use 3 banks of 8 "4116" RAM chips.
		The fault of these RAM chips was always in the same part of the chip and by only using the high or the low part of the chip he created 32Kb RAM chips and that with the 16Kb already in the machine added up to the total of 48Kb RAM.
