Diese historische Aufnahme aus dem Jahre 1981 zeigt den Kleincomputer Sinclaire ZX81, verbunden mit einem Fernseher.

Der Sinclair ZX81 ist ein kleiner Heimcomputer der britischen Firma Sinclair aus dem Jahre 1981, der auf dem ein Jahr zuvor erschienenen Sinclair ZX80 basiert. Als Bildschirm benötigte er einen Fernseher, der über den Antenneneingang angeschlossen wurde. Das Bild war nur schwarz-weiß. Er hat eine Folientastatur und 1024 Byte Hauptspeicher, konnte jedoch über die einfache Speichererweiterung von 16 KiB hinaus auf bis zu 64 KiB aufgerüstet werden.

Der ZX81 wurde als Fertiggerät und als Bausatz vertrieben. In Deutschland betrug der Ladenpreis anfänglich 398 DM (Bausatz 298 DM). Der Preis sank im Laufe der Bauzeit auf deutlich unter 100 DM. Neben dem Originalgerät wurden ab 1982 auch Lizenzfertigungen vertrieben. So wurde er innerhalb von zwei Jahren mehr als zwei Millionen Mal verkauft.

Die Programmierung verlangte bei den Benutzern hohe Konzentration bei der Eingabe der Befehle.

Heute mag man über dieses Gerät nur müde lächeln, aber danach entwickelten Elektronik-Ingenieure, besonders in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, in kurzer Zeit auch Hochleistungscomputer.

West Branch, Iowa - The birthplace of Herbert Hoover. This building was first a bank in 1910 then the post office before being converted to Virgil's Sinclair.

My Sinclair C5, found it lurking in my shed! Been there for a while, time to make it work for a charity bike ride. I know it's not a bike but, it's for charity!!

Motor is shot, no chain, no battery and inner tubes and tyres are shot.

Could be an interesting ride from the Malvern Hills Hotel, round the hills to the Malvern Rugby Club. Sounds fun, almost all down hill. Just discovered the front brake is rubbish and the rear pulls you to the middle of the road!

Sir Clive's invention which everybody didn't dash out and buy. Seen at Beaulieu Motor Museum.

J. Smith & Sons Midland Clock Works Derby - Sinclair Centre Clock 1909

Sinclair began as "Parco" in the 1920's. "Parco" stood for "Producer's And Refiner's CO". The company town was designed and completed in 1925 but by 1942, the oil refining had been sold to Sinclair Oil and the town changed it's name in 1942.

I wonder if they made toy versions of this...

I replaced this. Rescanned and recropped (I cut out all the credit card information) and slightly cleaner. If I try to clean it up anymore, I might cut off Dino's head.

On the street.
