The Spica Ines was not really a true Spectrum clone. Spica actually started its business in Slovenia by manufacturing a pro-keyboard case for the Sinclair [Spectrum](/museum/sinclair-zx-spectrum/).

The user had to insert its Spectrum card into the case to obtain a near-professional system with a high-quality mechanical keyboard.

Thanks to **Bojan Pesek** for information and pictures.
