Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Jet Set Willy - 23rd April 2022 is the 40th anniversary of the release of Sir Clive Sinclair's mass market cheap home computer.
Images from my personal collection of 8bit consoles/computers from the 1980's Here is Sir Clive Sinclair's legendary ZX Spectrum - the computer that kick started the home computing revolution. Also for folks now in their late 40's or earlier 50's the devices were pivotal in forging careers in IT. The Spectrum used a Zilog Z80 processor running at MHz (some models are fitted with a NEC D780C-1 variant). The original model came with either 16 or 48k of Ram - costing around £129 for the 16k and £179k for the 48k. The hardware design was by Richard Altwasser and the case was designed by Rick Dickinson.
