Talk:Timex Sinclair 2068

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"the independent Portuguese division continued to sell the machines in Portugal and Poland until 1989"

Wasn't Polland under a communist regime before 1989? If so, how did a Portuguese division manage to sell computers in Polland?!

Depends what you mean by "communist". (China is still supposedly "communist"; obviously they're not, but you take my point). I don't know the exact situation, but there was a lot of reform in Eastern Europe leading up to the fall of communism. 17:02, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UK2086

What is the "UK2086" referred to in the current version of the article? It's not mentioned elsewhere. Is this meant to refer to a UK version of the TS-2068?

The only match I can think of is the "ZX Spectrum 128". Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK the Spectrum 128 used the original Spectrum as its starting point, and didn't incorporate the changes made in the TS-2068(?). Therefore, it's not really a UK version of the 2068.

The "Unipolbrit Komputer 2086": a Polish clone of the 2068. No, I don't have a verifiable source for this at the moment, but Google is fairly definitive. Cheers --Pak21 17:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up. I've added a bit to the article about this machine. Fourohfour 11:55, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
