Model ZX Spectrum 48K
Description

My very first computer was a ZX Spectrum 48Kb. This computer is based around a Zilog Z80A processor cadenced at 3.5 Mhz. This one has 48 Kb RAM + 16Kb ROM. One of the worst drawback of this computer is the rubber keyboard which is really ugly. Apart from that it is a really wonderfull machine.
