Cholinga

M'zaka zoyambirira, woyambitsa Clive Sinclair ankafuna kukhazikitsa kompyuta yoyamba yotsika mtengo yapanyumba: yosavuta kugwiritsa ntchito, chophatikizika komanso chosamva khofi ndi mowa.

Njira

Wopangayo adapanga ZX80, kompyuta yapanyumba yaying'ono (20x20cm) yokhala ndi kiyibodi yogwira ntchito zambiri komanso yosamva madzi. Inali kompyuta yoyamba kugwera pansi pa malire amatsenga 100 Mapaundi adatsika ndipo nawo, kugwiritsa ntchito makompyuta kunyumba kumawoneka ngati kotheka kwa anthu ambiri.

Chotsatira

Komabe ZX80 inalinso ndi malire ake. Chipangizocho chinali ndi chithunzi chakuda ndi choyera, palibe phokoso komanso kiyibodi yovomerezeka yogwira ntchito zambiri komanso yosamva madzi. Koma pogwiritsa ntchito kwambiri kiyibodi yomweyi inali yovuta kwambiri. Ndi kukhudza kulikonse kwa kiyi, chinsalu chimatuluka (purosesa sakanatha kulandira zonse ziwiri panthawi imodzi ndikupereka chizindikiro cha chithunzi). Kuphatikiza apo, kompyuta inali ndi kukumbukira kochepa kwa 1Kram

Poyambirira panali matamando ambiri muzosindikiza zamalonda za Sinclair ZX80. Mtolankhani wina wochokera ku Personal Computer World adawona kuti ndizothandiza kuti kiyibodiyo imazimitsidwa ndikukhudza kulikonse, ndiye munatsimikiza kuti mwangogwira batani kamodzi. Koma patapita zaka zingapo, chikondi cha ZX80 chinatha. Mawu ochokera kumalonda atolankhani: "Pokhala ndi kiyibodi yosagwiritsidwa ntchito komanso mtundu woyipa wa Basic, chipangizochi chalefula anthu mamiliyoni ambiri kuti asagulenso kompyuta".

Ndemanga iyi ndiyokokomeza kwambiri. Potsirizira pake zilipo 50.000 makope ogulitsidwa. Koma zoona zake zinali zimenezo, ngakhale zolinga zabwino za woyambitsayo, Sinclair ZX80 inali ndi mavuto ochuluka kwambiri kuti ithandize omvera ambiri ndi makompyuta apanyumba osavuta kugwiritsa ntchito.

Maphunziro

Clive Sinclair adatulutsa mwachangu wolowa m'malo, ZX81. M'menemo wakonza kale zina mwazitsulo kuphatikizapo chophimba chophwanyika ndi kukhudza kulikonse kwa kiyibodi. Chikumbutso chakulitsidwanso. Ngakhale panalibe zokwanira kutsutsa pa ZX81, wolowa m'malo uyu akuti wagulitsa makope oposa miliyoni imodzi. Ndipo Sinclair mwiniwake adalowa 1983 wodziwa bwino ntchito ya Margaret Thatcher ndipo kuyambira chaka chimenecho amatha kudzitcha kuti Sir.
