Never, in the computers industry, a computer was made using so few components.
|
||
|
||
**(1)** 2 KB RAM memory chip, here a Toshiba version\
|
||
**(2)** 8 KB ROM chip holding the Sinclair BASIC interpreter\
|
||
**(3)** Z80A microprocessor, here a NEC version\
|
||
**(4)** ULA (Uncommitted Logic Array) chip which manages the whole system\
|
||
**(5)** UHF modulator allows direct connexion to a TV set\
|
||
**(6)** Tape recorder Input/Output jacks\
|
||
**(7)** DC power jack. Power is supplied by an external AC adaptor\
|
||
**(8)** Voltage régulator with its metallic cooler\
|
||
**(9)** This metal rod was added in the Timex version to avoid radio frequency emission and comply with US FCC rules\
|
||
**(10)** Keyboard connectors

This is the US version of the Sinclair [ZX-81](/museum/sinclair-zx-81/) marketed by Timex. The main difference is that the TS 1000 has 2 KB RAM instead of the 1 KB RAM of the original ZX-81.
|
||
|

See the [ZX-81](/museum/sinclair-zx-81/) pages for more info...
