| Notes | The TS-1000 was the American version of the Sinclair ZX-81 which followed the successful Sinclair ZX-80. The popularity of these machines was driven by their low price. In an era of $1,000 computers a machine that came in at $100 to start was noticed. |
| Related Items in Collection | Another TS-1000, books, etc. |

Thank you to Eric Lakin for the generous donation of a TS-1000 with docs, etc.
