Timex Sinclair 1000

The Timex Computer Corporation will enter the personal computer market with the Timex Sinclair 1000. Sales will begin in July through the more than 100,000 Timex retail outlets, including computer stores, department stores and chains, consumer electronics, jewelry, and drug stores. This step is the result of an agreement between Timex and Sinclair Research Ltd. for Timex to market computers using Sinclair’s technical expertise. Sinclair’s mail order sales of the ZX81 will be phased out as Timex begins its marketing program.
