Started in November 1980 as Syntax ZX80 by Kirtland Olson to support the Sinclair ZX80, Syntax was the longest running professional magazine to support the Timex/Sinclair computers.

In August 1982, prior to the launch of the Timex/Sinclair 1000, Syntax ZX80 became Syntax.

The last issue was published at the end of 1984, just over five years after it started.

Syntax enjoyed a good relationship with Sinclair and Timex, often publishing authoritative information directly quoted from both companies.
