Build an Original Timex Sinclair ZX81
Filed Under Mac
OMG! You can still buy your very own Sinclair ZX81 kit:
“The follow-up ZX81 featured an even simpler design with only four integrated circuits (some had an extra RAM chip, for a total of five), an RF modulator, and some discrete components. Because of its simplicity, Sinclair offered it as a kit for $99.95, or fully assembled for $149.95. Hundreds of thousands were sold, and I remember seeing it discounted to as little as $50.”
Damn - now I have to, ahem, invest in one.
