Sinclair 128K ZX Spectrum +2

10 PRINT ”WELCOME! ”;: GOTO 10

Welcome to my site … made by a homecomputer enthusiast of the 80s for just those and who are simply interested in it 😉

This is not only about the famous “bread box”, the Commodore C64, but generally about 8-bit home computers of the 80s … the time when we (now about 45/50 years old) had the first contact with computers.

So have fun exploring the site!

With the Apple //c, the Apple II developers countered with a stylish, compact computer that was fully compatible with Apple II. The computer also looked good on the boss’s desk. However, the device cannot be called a laptop, as the screen was external and the computer had no battery.
