Techopedia Explains Sinclair ZX Spectrum
Preceded by the much less popular ZX80 and ZX81 computers by Sinclair, the ZX Spectrum was developed by British technology innovator, Sir Clive Sinclair, who had also developed one of the first successful pocket calculators in the 1970s. Released in 1982, the Spectrum was the first of its series to be marketed strictly for home use. Several models were eventually released, including 16KB RAM and 48KB RAM versions, as well as many different compatible peripherals and software programs.
