QuoteWe all know about the ZX80, the ZX81, the ZX Spectrum and its successors, and the QL. But these weren't the only microcomputers Sinclair Research worked on during its brief life between 1979, when it emerged as the renamed Science of Cambridge, and 1986, the year its brand and products were bought by Amstrad and it was shut down for good.

The Register do it again!

I actually like the look of that keyboard, although I'm not sure what the rounded ends are for. Armrests? Things to balance it? I've got no idea.

That's for the microdrive I guess, the keyboard looks like it made the final cut. I had the plus, it had a similar keyboard.

Waferdrive, something akin to today's hard drive.
