Not exactly; originally, it was a 2 x 2114 or 1 x
4118. Most UK ZX81s have
a 4118, though some users did replace the 4118 with a 6116. I've never
seen one originally fitted with a 6116, only upgrades (and I've seen a lot
of ZX81s -- the workshop I was in at the time used to fix them by the
bucketload).
I think I have to specify my statement 'around' ment 'world wide'.
AFAIR in South America Sinclair switched soon for 2KB configurations
to compete with a vast field of clones. In Germany (and as I assume
from previous information and your lines) only 1 KB
units and kits
have been sold - I think this is also true for most other parts of
Europe (anybody to correct me from Spain or Portugal ?).
