ROM wasn’t built in a day, and neither was RAM. Latest from Sinclair Research says that 8K ROMs will arrive in the US in late February. News is better for the RAMs–they’re under production and in distribution in England and will be available here in late January, although European users have first crack at buying them. Sinclair is accepting orders now for RAMs, but not making firm delivery date promises. The FCC may require certain modifications to the British design. If these changes increase the ZX80’s need for current, Sinclair will include a new power source in the original $99.95 price.
