The Timex / Sinclair Compendium

Every now and then, one stumbles upon something special. Occasionally, this special thing might not appear extraordinary at first glance, but its true, inherent values constitute its real, radiant beauty.

And sometimes, such beauty is also paired with a series of most successful home computers of the 80s - the Timex / Sinclair machines.

What are we talking about? It's about the most extraordinary and comprehensive compendium centered around the Z80-based machines by David Anderson, the mastermind behind the platform and creator of the YT channel @timexsinclairfans.

At timexsinclair.com, you'll find just about everything worth knowing about these machines. Currently, there are 162 publications, 1,550 issues and 11,863 articles indexed, along with 215 books - all meticulously and competently curated by David. Besides this content, he regularly hosts Zoom meetings with Timex veterans and enthusiasts, which can be found on his YT channel.

For anyone who has one of these machines stored somewhere, or plans to start a new project this summer featuring the Z80, you'll be hard-pressed to find anything that David doesn't have covered.

A fantastic compendium. Don't miss it.
