	Z88: Forerunner of modern notebook PCs
		The Z88, which lists for $549 but is likely to be discounted to around $499, comes from Great Britain and not, as you might have expected, Japan.
		Because the Z88 is like a boxer in a cage, both powerful and penned in at the same time.
		The Z88 is supposed to run about 20 hours on its four alkaline AA cells, but I never got close to that.

		Z88 Internals If you were to open up your Z88 (don't do this lightly), here is what you would see: There are four chips in the Z88.

	Z88 Developers' Notes
		The difficulty with this technique on the Z88 is the inconstancy of the unused memory.
		The Z88 supports a fairly uniform device-independent i/o system, so although calls do exist which will explicitly send data to, say, the screen or the serial port (and these calls will be covered later), it is usually simplest to regard such devices as files and use a standard file i/o interface.
		The Z88 has a single serial port which has to be shared by all applications, so it is important that applications use the system to access the port to avoid interfering with the correct operation of other applications running in the machine.

	Hardware and Software for the Cambridge Z88 Portable Home Computer). (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Z88 is the most portable full-function computer ever devised, with a full sized silent keyboard, integrated display (8 lines x 80 characters) and yet being able to run for approximately 20 hours on 4xAA Alkaline batteries.
		Another popular method of permanent storage for the Z88 is simply to use one of the computer link kits, which enable you to copy files across to a disk drive on another computer and retrieve them at a later date.
		In combination with WN Richardson and Co and Rakewell Limited, we are pleased to be able to supply a wide range of items to support the Z88 and its users (thanks to Rakewell for their photos on this website).

	Hardware: Cambridge Z88 Laptop Computer
		The Z88 (the loaner long since returned) faded from my memory 'til a stray reference in Shop Talk reminded me of my uberGeek status I'd enjoyed at that SALT conference so long ago.
		I also remembered that the Z88 keyboard was the closest thing to silent I'd ever experienced, and silence is something I definitely prefer as I document corporate shindigs.
		The Z88 is about the size of a piece of paper, less than an inch thick, under two pounds, basic fl, powered for 20 hours with 4 AA's.

		Your Z88 may be sent to John for the modifications to be done, or for any needed repairs.
		The Z88 will now behave as an expanded machine (giving a full map in PipeDream, and 40K workspace in BASIC) if there is 128k RAM anywhere in the system, and not just in slot 1 as it did with V3 ROM.
		I got started with the Z88 a bit late in it's life, so a lot of the products I read about were no longer available.

	Cambridge Z88
		Powered by 4 AA cells, the Z88 is built around the Zilog Z80 CPU, clocked at 3.28 MHz; it's outfitted with 32 K of RAM (expandable) and 128 K of ROM.
		Since the Z88 does not use disk drives or the like, mass storage is provided by an EPROM slot: data are written on EPROM cartridges, from where they can only be erased by a dedicated device which fires UV light on a circular "window" on the backside of the cartridge.
		The Z88 is also programmable in Z80 Assembler language, and dedicated enthusiasts have written applications for it, many of which are available on the Internet.

	CRASH 39 - Z88
		The Z88 was first revealed at a lunch for journalists at Sir Clive's house in London.
		A design recognisably similar to that of the Z88 was born early in 1984, partly in an attempt to salvage ideas left over from the development of the QL and the LC-3.
		The Z88 is a step in that direction, and will doubtless appeal to some people, but the product hardly lives up to the slogan, 'full-facility, no-compromise computing' at the moment.

		It is slow but if you send files from the Z88 using wildcards, You just start up and then change cartridges.
		If you store one Z88 file in each Spectrum file, it is wise to use the Z88 name, be cause the files are stored complete with their Z88 name with which they will be sent back to the Z88.
		If you send all files back, you might have updated files in the Z88 with the same names, which will be overwritten.

	Planet Sinclair: Computers: Z88
		The Z88 was a laptop-style machine with a Zilog Z80 processor, LCD screen screen and a silent keyboard (rubber, naturally).
		In comparison to the huge sales of the earlier Sinclair computers, the Z88 was only modestly successful.
		It possibly suffered from being ahead of its time - it was in many respects a forerunner of the personal digital assistants (PDAs) which were to become so popular in the late 1990s.

	Comments for the Cambridge Z88 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Z88 Cambridge was definitely a computer with which the late Sir Clive Sinclair was at least a decade ahead of his time.
		In fact the Z88 was so quiet and descrete that I could take it into the library and write my essays without disturbing anyone.
		As a journalist I used my Z88 not only to write down my texts but also to transfer files to my office by a small serial modem with an acoustic coupler (Discovery 2100U).
