The Sinclair Machines: 1980s
| With his new
company, Sinclair Research, on a firm footing,
the 1980s were by far Sinclair's most successful
decade. The man himself became a household name
and millions of his machines were sold (and
pirated!) around the world. The descent was,
however, nearly as swift as the rise. Note: the machine in italics were not produced by Sinclair Research, but were instead authorised clones of the ZX81, Spectrum and QL. |
