TIMEX SINCLAIR 1000 REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY MAKES THIS COMPUTER POSSIBLE

The Timex Sinclair 1000 is the first personal computer featuring our new microchip design. The design utilizes four powerful microchips, including a unique Master Chip that replaces as many as 18 chips on other personal computers. The Timex Sinclair 1000, with the optional 16K RAM Pack accessory, is a compact computer with all the power and high-performance capacity you are likely to need for personal use.

Excerpts taken from “Timex Sinclair 1000” Box (back)

The new computer from Timex represents a major breakthrough, a real computer at an almost unreal price. What makes it possible are our advances in microchip technology and computer circuitry. And, as technology increases, price decreases. It happened to the calculator. It happened to the digital watch. Now Timex has made it happen to the computer.

The Timex Sinclair allows you to use your own TV as a display monitor, and your audio cassette recorder to store your programs. For $99.95 you get everything else that you need, including our step-by-step learning guide that’ll have you running programs within hours. And writing them within weeks.
