Download or read book 30 Programs for the Sinclair ZX80 written by Retro Reproductions and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ZX80 home computer was launched in 1980 by the then still-to-be-knighted home computer mogul Clive Sinclair. Available in kit form at £79.99 for the aspiring hobbyist or pre-built at a price of £99.99 the ground-breaking machine offered home computing for the kind of money an average family could afford. The inventor's company would grow to become Sinclair Research and release even more powerful machines such as the ZX81, QL and (at the time) the UK's best-selling computer, the ZX Spectrum. This book - originally published by Melbourne House - contains thirty programs for the reader to run on their ZX80, after spending time carefully typing them in! The programs were designed to introduce the user to various capabilities offered by the ZX80 and its generous 1KB of memory. This remastered edition has been reproduced as closely to the 1980 original as possible, enabling retro fans lucky enough to own a working machine (or through emulation) to try their hand at old-school self-typed programming. Alternatively, it makes a great gift for those who were present at the dawn of home computing, or simply for anyone interested to know more about the beginnings of the microchip revolution.

Download or read book Not Only 30 Programs for the Sinclair ZX81 written by Retro Reproductions and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Launched in 1981, Sir Clive Sinclair's ZX81 - successor to his ZX80 released the year before - was designed to be a low-cost introduction to home computing for the general public. It was a hugely successful machine, with over one and a half million 'official' units being sold; many more unauthorised 'clones' were also produced, particularly in Russia and other Eastern Bloc countries of the era. One could either purchase the machine pre-built, or - as a significant number of consumers did - buy it in kit form for assembly at home at a slightly cheaper price. This 'DIY' approach, encouraged by Sinclair Research, became a core element of the computer's genetic make-up. Those who were comfortable putting together the four silicon chips and other such components were just as keen to poke around the machine's memory, learning as much as they could about its capability; the programs they would write could easily be shared once saved onto a standard audio cassette. It became common for magazines - both from major publishers and their smaller, fan-produced brethren - to feature listings of programs for the home user to type in themselves. This book features thirty such programs, covering everything from card games and shoot 'em ups to utilities and educational software. The 'Not Only' in the title refers to the fact that in addition to the code listings themselves, the book provides the reader with additional programming hints, advanced space-saving techniques (remember, the ZX81 only had one kilobyte of memory!) and general coding advice to up-skill anyone interested in doing so. This 40th anniversary reproduction is the first time this hugely influential and popular book has been printed in decades. Available in paperback form like the original, or a collector's hardback edition, it is the ideal purchase or gift for any fan of the early days of home computing.

Download or read book Home Computers written by Alex Wiltshire and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of the early years of the digital revolution, when computing power was deployed in a beige box on your desk. Today, people carry powerful computers in our pockets and call them “phones.” A generation ago, people were amazed that the processing power of a mainframe computer could be contained in a beige box on a desk. This book is a celebration of those early home computers, with specially commissioned new photographs of 100 vintage computers and a generous selection of print advertising, product packaging, and instruction manuals. Readers can recapture the glory days of fondly remembered (or happily forgotten) machines including the Commodore 64, TRS-80, Apple Lisa, and Mattel Aquarius—traces of the techno-utopianism of the not-so-distant past. Home Computers showcases mass-market success stories, rarities, prototypes, one-offs, and never-before-seen specimens. The heart of the book is a series of artful photographs that capture idiosyncratic details of switches and plugs, early user-interface designs, logos, and labels. After a general scene-setting retrospective, the book proceeds computer by computer, with images of each device accompanied by a short history of the machine, its inventors, its innovations, and its influence. Readers who inhabit today's always-on, networked, inescapably connected world will be charmed by this visit to an era when the digital revolution could be powered down every evening.
Download or read book Accidental Empires written by Robert X. Cringely and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1996-09-13 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer manufacturing is--after cars, energy production and illegal drugs--the largest industry in the world, and it's one of the last great success stories in American business. Accidental Empires is the trenchant, vastly readable history of that industry, focusing as much on the astoundingly odd personalities at its core--Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mitch Kapor, etc. and the hacker culture they spawned as it does on the remarkable technology they created. Cringely reveals the manias and foibles of these men (they are always men) with deadpan hilarity and cogently demonstrates how their neuroses have shaped the computer business. But Cringely gives us much more than high-tech voyeurism and insider gossip. From the birth of the transistor to the mid-life crisis of the computer industry, he spins a sweeping, uniquely American saga of creativity and ego that is at once uproarious, shocking and inspiring.
