I didn't know that. The design's fine, it's just the quality of the board,
but small production runs and low costs presumably didn't allow for a high
quality board - unless I just got a bad one!

The future was never like this!
ever since. The cassete interface, however, was
a different matter, it would
shed print if you just looked at it funny with a soldering iron.
Like all Sinclair gear, designed down to a price - and then some!
The cassette interface was designed by Nick "Atom" Toop because Science of
Cambridge hadn't come up with one; he might've had to rationalise the design
to reduce costs a tad but it's all his own work.
