Welcome to Kio's Sinclair ZX Computers Archive.

This site covers the Amstrad and Sinclair ZX computers ZX80, ZX81 and the ZX Spectrum models, Timex TS and TC licensed versions, Eastern and South American clones and the Jupiter ACE, together with hardware extensions and software available for these computers.

There are also sections for Sinclair's Calculators, Other Computers and Other Inventions and other Amstrad computers like Joyce and CPC which are not meant to be part of the archive, but linked at this location on my local hard disc.

The Sinclair ZX Computers Archive tries to preserve the memories and feelings of the early home computer era by preserving images, technical information and programmes for these machines. Fetch an emulator or a real machine and revive memories!

The different models are sorted into 3 groups of highly compatible machines which can be thought of as years:

• 80/  for the ZX80, ZX81 and compatible machines, including the Jupiter ACE,
  
• 82/  for the 16/48K colour Speccies ZX Spectrum, ZX Spectrum+ and clones, and
  
• 86/  for 128K machines, most of them produced by Amstrad.

The archive on DVD

Send me an email if you want to get the archive data on a DVD — nearly 2 GB. This has some advantages over hogging my ADSL line. Thank you. ;-)

I am looking for images of some variants:

• Scandinavian Spectrum
  
• Spanish Spectrum+2 (also ROM dump required)
  
• French Spectrum+2 (also ROM dump required)
  
• Russian Scorpion
  
• Arabic Spectrum+3 (also ROM dump required)

If you own one of these, please make some photos and dump the Rom. See also: For Swap, Sale or Want to Buy/.
