Anyhow, why didn't these fellows get sued for producing hardware so similar to Sinclair?:
The Jupiter ACE was a British home computer of the 1980s, marketed by a company named Jupiter Cantab and named after the early British computer, the ACE. The company was formed by Richard Altwasser and Steven Vickers, who had been on the design team for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. ... The Jupiter ACE somewhat resembled a ZX81 in a white case, with black rubber keys like the Spectrum. ... The font of the character set was identical to that of the Spectrum ... the editor was like the Sinclair editor rather than the original Forth editor. ... Several words were borrowed from Sinclair BASIC. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_ACE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_ACE

(Technically, 1 character-line isn't a scanline as far as the display is concerned, but it's a pretty close analogy).
