something on a par with a 48KB Spectrum; i.e. just ROM/RAM/CPU,
keyboard, cassette storage, and TV output. Extra credit for having a
'common' CPU such as the Z80 or 6502 :-) (didn't the 48KB Spectrum
sell in the US via Timex? Did it have a 'proper' keyboard? Having
something with a 'real' keyboard would be nice...). Maybe an Apple ][
is a good candidate and still readily obtainable in the US?
I know you stated the
64 may be overkill, but the VIC-20? A VIC with
some expansion seems to fit all of your criteria.
