Re: Hello from Zeeland
Ok, you win! You definitely have a problem! You also need a QL SD, Maybe the QL Gold card and a zx81 ZXPand to complete your collection of cool stuff.
Only criticism is to put the QL up higher before the clones on your web page lol.
I had the Micromatic when it was new and I was in elementary school, and the TS1000 was my first computer, and the TS268 my second.
Now that you have all the hardware, time to write software!

Re: Hello from Zeeland
Welcome to our forums Marc.
Having many Sinclair Computers isn't unhealthy at all.
I hope you use all of them from time to time.
I use Sinclair Computers regularly, most days it's my favourite ZX80.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

Re: Hello from Zeeland
Obviously I don't use all of them, except when someone has a question about a certain model and I turn it on to verify. Or something like that.
But as you can see in all the photos, they all do work! And I do replace the keyboard membranes even knowing I really don't use the machines. But I would hate to have a collection that is flawed, right?
I don't really understand the QL so there is no need for me to get a Gold Card or a Trump Card. A ZXpand would be nice but it's not on my priority list. The one missing IF1 cartridge or the box for the 2068 Pinball cartridge or the 2 missing 1510 cartridges are higher on the list. Or a cartridge for the Indian dB Spectrum ROM cartridge reader! Don't tell me you never heard of all of those items?

Re: Hello from Zeeland
Great to see another Lambda 8300 collector. We have some discussions regarding that machine in the Lambda 8300 section of this forum, from time to time.

Re: Hello from Zeeland
It is a standard ZX81.
In 1981, the Dutch import company for Bang & Olufsen celebrated their 20th anniversary and ... well, let the ad speak for itself:

After this, they split off the computer import department and set up a Sinclair and Acorn import company named Compac.PERSONAL COMPUTER Beocomp ZX-81 Sinclair
An extra extension of your TV as an anniversary offer.
We have thought long and hard about what we could do to give our existing and future B&O customers the most pleasure in this anniversary year. In order to offer you something really special, we end up with a product that is not made by B&O, but which gives your B&O TV (or any other device) an important extra dimension. We offer you one of the best and most versatile computers at a price that puts this fascinating instrument within everyone's reach.
