-    text: This was my first computer back in the early 80''s. Mine was given to me by my uncle and I remember it as "Lambda 2000". I learnt basic on this thing from reading the command words printed on the keys and experimenting. I had the big (and heavy!) 16KB ram expansion plugged in plus a small printer which I never really used. Eventually the soft touch keys started failing and I moved on to a C64, which was a huge leap back then :-)

-      It was possible to install different ROMs into the lambda to gain better ZX81 compatibility. I have made a multirom-board which can be seen here:

-    text: The PC-8300 was distributed in Canada for a few years as surplus by Princess Auto. The manual included a little bit of English, but was mostly printed with Chinese block characters. The case and colour scheme are exactly as shown for Lambda Electronics PC-8300, though there was no such branding on the original box, the manual, or the computer.

-      Well, the Lambda 8300 was distributed in Denmark - probably also the rest of the nordics. It was an exact ZX81 clone (first cloning that I am aware of?) and ran Sinclair software just fine.\
-      Best rgds. from Denmark, and do keep up the good work!

-      The Lambda PC 8300's keyboard looks almost identical to the Panasonic JR-100 at http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=320&st=1

-      Same style and layout and everything! This has to be more than just a coincidence...
