People old enough to remember the Sinclair Research advertising from 1980 that a #ZX80 could run a power station, will not need to watch #ScottManley's latest, as they already know the answer. (-:

Yes, I too remember it as a nuclear power station. But I've just found a picture of someone with one of the contemporary computer magazines showing the advertisement, and #SinclairResearch never actually said what sort of power station in the advertising copy. Apparently, that's something that we collectively added to the mythology.

A gaggle of Spectrums.

Clearing garage, some of these work, some don’t. Some will be listed on eBay. #RetroGaming #SinclairResearch #SpectrumComputer #ZXSpectrum #SinclairSpectrum #AllTheTags

I just found my Sinclair QL lurking at the back of the garage. It's going to take a bit of work to get it going again.

I built it into a metal toolbox to sit beside my desk and used a separate keyboard, which was borrowed from a VT100 and rewired to work with the QL.

My QL had not the usual 128 K of RAM, nor was it expanded to only 640 K, but I had 656 K, with an extra 16 K battery backed on a board which I could also use as an EPROM emulator when doing things with other micros. That board also contains a Dallas clock chip, so I didn't have to set the time everytime that I booted the machine up.

The extra 16 K of RAM was actually in the slot usually reserved for a ROM cartridge so it usually contained the dongle from Metacomco's port of the Lattice C compiler alongside a bit of extra code of my own.
