Brilliant machine, sadly unsupported. Had built in sound via an AY-3-8912, two Kempton compatible joystick ports, a cartridge port and extra high resolution modes. Plus an incrediably cool case. If you were determined you could get a Spectrum rom cartridge to turn it into a Spectrum, a twister board and even hookup micro drives...
