But also the interesting -

and also from Brazil - the TK series:
TK80, TK82 TK83 and TK85.
How many ZX81 clones are out there??

I don't know if the mentioned clones are software compatible. The Lambda 8300 clones weren't.

Power 3000
Marathon 32k

a few more, two from the east block, one from china:
didactic from Czechoslovakia.
P.S. This is actually a spectrum clone, look closely at the top row of keys and you can just make out it lists colours. CZ 1500plus, also from Czechoslovaki. laser 110, from China. I have schematics of many of these clones, from my study of the ZX81 when designing my own ZX81+35 clone

by the way, the very first clone of a ZX-class Sinclair computer was the MicroAce which came out in the USA just months after the ZX80 was launched in the UK, and was clearly a direct copy of the ZX80, even including the original ROM, it later became licensed, but originally it was simply a pirated copy, with the idea that software did not have legal copy protection.

Oh, most interesting!
PS: Hmmm, actually Didaktik series contains clones of ZX Spectrum, also what the "M" model is.

Re: How many ZX81 clones are out there??
You are right, the didaktik M is a spectrum clone, not a ZX80 or ZX8 clone, in the didaktik series there is no ZX81 clone.
the best, most complete, "list" I could find about ZX81 clones is in the Czechoslovakian wikipedia page here: https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klony_po% ... X80_a_ZX81
use google translate, or google chrome to translate the page.
