Ben.
PS. did any of his computers have GOOD I/O storage?
All I can think of cassette or stringy floppy.
Bundled? No. Even the Amstrad Spectrum +3 had the weird 3" drive and
weird un-Sinclair-like DOS, derived from AMSDOS for the CPC models,
with a kinda-sorta-CP/M like syntax and disk format, completely
incompatible with Sinclair's earlier mass-storage products.
But I had an MGT DISCiPLE on mine. Twin 5?" 780KB drives. Fast,
reliable, an excellent friendly DOS, and both command-line and
hook-code (i.e., API) compatible with Sinclair's own official ZX
Microdrives. Gave me a Centronics parallel printer port and network
ports, too. Lovely bit of kit. A later ROM upgrade even gave me named
sudirectories on floppies, which at the time I thought was /very/
nifty indeed.
