That's amazing...if I don't like Kickstarter, can i buy one after the campaign is over? Also, will it come with a good documentation? Things in the 80's often

That's amazing...if I don't like Kickstarter, can i buy one after the campaign is over? Also, will it come with a good documentation? Things in the 80's often had phenomenal documentation that was designed to teach and not just point out the location of a few pins. I never used the Zx before. What is the user experience like? When you boot up, can you bring up a BASIC prompt or type in Assembly?

Just to mention https://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/ https://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/ , probably a good point of entry into the present-day Spectrum community.

The older Spectrum48k boots directly into a (rather bland) BASIC screen editor, the later Spectrum128k started with a simple UI menu. You can see here: http://floooh.github.io/virtualkc/ http://floooh.github.io/virtualkc/ (click on the hamburger menu and select "system..." to boot into the Spectrum48k and 128k models)

  Except, as far as I can tell, all of them are not available for pre-order either (at least not anymore).

    The official word on further availability seems to be "likely but can't yet confirm": https://www.specnext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=696 https://www.specnext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=696
