Spectrumness vs Sinclairicity

Updated:
- Added Harlequin
- Added Czerweny models
- Added Timex models
- Added Unipolbrit Komputer
- Added Inves Plus
- Added maker labels
- Distinction of +2 variants

This is only Western Europe and the Americas. I have no clue how to approach a map of the multiplicity and vast richness of Eastern speckies, which won't fit a simple chart. If you have any ideas, let me know.

The is on its way home.

Missing:
- (I already located one)

- Plus - it was the last model made by before they literally burnt out. Typical in a + box, similar to the Spanish design by Investronica. It also had the ROM BASIC error messages translated, which was the cause of some incompatibility with certain titles. Very few CZ Plus were made, and I've never seen one in the flesh. No expectation or interest to get one.

The success of this transaction is more uncertain than previous ones and it may not be completed to satisfaction, but it's my last chance to grab one of these for a price below ridiculousness.

It's one of the earliest clones made by in Argentina, for all purposes an exact replica of the original 48 and a CZ 2000 sticker.

Should be delivered next week if I'm lucky. If I'm not, the transaction is insured and I always get my money back.

CZ Spectrum 48k is here earlier than expected, and it looks better than it did in pictures I had seen before.

I don't have an original Sinclair to compare here with me right now, but from my recollection this exactly the same case of the ZX Spectrum Plus, with the notable divergence of a flat faceplate on top, and a rubber keyboard. Weird little hybrid outwardly, all Sinclair inside.

We'll see what more I can learn from it.
