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 #CZ2000 is on its way home.

Missing:
- #TK95 (I already located one)

- #CzSpectrum Plus - it was the last model made by #Czerweny before they literally burnt out. Typical #Speccy in a #ZxSpectrum+ 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.

It wasn't meant to be this time but with a little luck, if it's not sold soon, I should be able to get this TK95 in a month or two to secure a more complete collection of Pan-American Spectrums. Not cheap for a 48k model, about $250 from a guy in uruguay, modded to output composite video and audio.

#ZXSpectrum-like computers made in the Americas:

- BR #TK90X (early, with DIN joystick port)

- BR TK90X (later, with DB9 joystick port)

- US Timex Sinclair 2068

- AR #CzSpectrum

At least 2 other #Speccy were made I've been unable to source yet:

- BR #TK95 - by #Microdigital of #Brazil, improved keyboard, improved 48k compatibility, PT and ES characters, and an UDG editor.

- AR #CZ2000 - by #Czewerny of #Argentina, same case and same electronics of the Sinclair 48k

Oh lookie! I've just made a chart!

It's guaranteed to contain errors, wrong interpretations, and possibly a few valid points. Please let me know if you think there's something that you believe should be represented differently.
Thank you!
