 My first computer was a timex 2068 and learning to
 program on chicklet keyboards sucks. 
 But.. Those were pretty nice computers... 
Still are :>)

...
  Originally, it was intended to be an American Version
 of the 48k ZX-Spectrum Computer.

 But, as-is it wouldn't pass FCC regulations. 
Not to doubt your word, but what is your source for that information?  I've
had several conversations with George Grimm (President of Timex Computer
Corp.) and he never mentioned a problem with the FCC.

...
  I have a U.S. Prototype of the Spectrum, a Microdrive

I would be interested to see photos of the prototype.  Do you have any Web
space you can post photos to?

...
  The company I worked for in the 80's even made a
 drawing program similar to MacPaint for it, called
 TechDraw, A Spectrum Emulator Cartridge, Disk System,
 Terminal Software (for the Timex Modem), and lots
 more... 
Mind if I ask the company name?
