Podcast Episode 16: TRS-80 Color Computer and Sinclair ZX Spectrum

4K TRS-80 Color Computer

Now that we’re firmly into the 1980’s, David and Jeff continue to cover computer systems that can be considered next-generation platforms, introducing color versions to existing model lines. We introduce to you Radio Shack’s first Color Computer, expanding the infamous original monochrome TRS-80 line of computers. Along with that, we hop over the great pond and introduce the successor to the Sinclair ZX80 and ZX81, the Sinclair’s ZX Spectrum series of computers.
