Adweek · FAA Allows Sinclair to Fly Drones Over People and Moving Vehicles Without a WaiverBy Kevin Eck
The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

"Cosmic Payback", ZX81 Edition.

Tras haber lanzado hace casi 5 años el videojuego original para ZX Spectrum, PROSM o John Connolly (su mismo autor) publica su 'port' para los ordenadores ZX-81 con al menos 16K de RAM. ¡En este computador de Sinclair se convierte en una pequeña maravilla técnica, muy bien desarrollada!

Das ZX1541-Interface für die Freunde von Durchsteckkomponenten

Das ZX1541-Interface in SMD zu bauen war kein Problem, zumindest was den Platzbedarf bei den gegebenen Platinenabmessungen betrifft. Etwas kniffliger war es, das Ganze mit THT-Bauteilen bei unveränderten Abmessungen zu realisieren. Es war nicht einfach, aber am Ende hat es geklappt.
