ZX Spectrum
<computer> Sinclair's first personal computer with a colour display. The
Spectrum used the Zilog Z80 processor like its predecessors the ZX-80 and ZX-81.
It was originally available in 16k and 48k versions using cassette tape and
later grew to 128k and sprouted floppy disks. It had a wider and more solid case
and a marginally better "dead flesh" keyboard. Unlike the earlier models, it
didn't require the presence of a cold carton of milk to prevent it overheating.
It was possibly the most popular home computer in the UK for many years.
The TK-90X was a clone.
