The goal with the TK95 was to offer a true [Spectrum](/museum/sinclair-zx-spectrum/) compatible system with a case and keyboard as strong and convenient as a [Commodore 64](/museum/commodore-c64/).
|
||
|
||
The inside of the machine was neverthless quite similar to its predecessor, the **TK-90**, with some ROM improvements that increased the degree of compatibility and corrected some bugs (ROM No Maskable Interrupt) of the original Sinclair and Timex models.
|
||
|
||
Two BASIC command were added, **TRACE** and **UDG** (User Defined Graphics) that allowed the specific Brazilian characters to be printed. As the machine was only dedicated to Brazilian market, all the error messages were in Portuguese language.
|
||
|
||
The TK-95 was one of the last machine made by Electronica. It didn't sell well because of the massive appearence and great success of MSX computers in South America.
|
||
|
||
Thanks to **Dimitri Kokken** for the picture
|
||
|
||
More information from **Mario Villar** (Uruguay):\
|
||
Not all peripherals marketed for the ZX Spectrum were compatible with this machine, specially the Joystick Interfaces.\
|
||
Microdigital also made peripherals for the TK line under it's own brand: An optical pen, RS-232 Interface, and modems.\
|
||
In my country (Uruguay), this machine had great success, leaving it to implement a system information service over modem (like a BBS) specially dedicated to that machines, with a modem and interface built here. Also, there was a High Speed tape drive called "Hilow", developed in Uruguay. It has a Snapshot button (NMI interrupt?) and two speeds. The few units ever made were incredibly reliable, still working today.
