ZX SPECTRUM 48K VERSIONS AND CLONES AROUND THE WORLD

(pictures come from Internet, mostly from www.old-computers.com and www.homecomputer.de cool sites - You should visit them too :) )

To be precise, ZX48K was a best-seller not only in the first 80s half. It was a home-computers' best-seller ever because Sinclair Research wasn't the only company selling the machine. Oh, not at all. Spectrum 48 was the most popular machine to clone it, in many many countries.

There are following versions of this machine:

Of course the main version - The Rubber.

ZX Spectrum 48+ (released in 1984)

A company having an official licence from Sinclair Research for producing American version of Spectrum48 was Timex Corp. 

However the only their comp fully compatible with 48K series was Timex Computer 2048 (Portuguese/USA version, released in 1984)

...but actually most countries had their own clone of ZX Spectrum 48K.

All the same about the clones goes also to 128Kb models but it's another story. Anyway Soviet Union and then Russia was really fine place for Spectrum and its fans.
