ZX Spectrum
Sinclair Research Ltd., Velika Britanija
- Opis:
- Majhen črn računalnik, vgrajen v sivo gumijasto tipkovnico z mavrico v desnem spodnjem kotu. [SLO]: Sredi porasta domačih računalnikov v 80-ih letih je ZX Spectrum izstopal kot prelomna naprava, ki je navdušila celo generacijo. ZX Spectrum, ki ga je Sinclair Research predstavil leta 1982, je bil ključen vstop na rastoči trg domačih računalnikov, znan po svoji dostopni ceni in značilni obliki. Njegove grafične zmogljivosti, čeprav skromne po današnjih standardih, so bile takrat izjemne, s paleto 15 barv in ločljivostjo 256x192 pik, kar je omogočalo živahne in privlačne vizualne elemente za igre in aplikacije. Hitro je postal priljubljen med ljubitelji, izobraževalci in igralci, zahvaljujoč svoji obsežni knjižnici programske opreme, vključno z ikoničnimi igrami tistega časa, ki so premikale meje mogočega na 8-bitnem stroju. Poleg tega je njegov vpliv segel daleč preko Združenega kraljestva in sprožil val ustvarjalnosti in inovacij, ki so oblikovale prihodnost računalništva. Številni razvijalci in navdušenci, ki so začeli z ZX Spectrumom, so postali pomembni v tehnološki industriji. ZX Spectrum z značilno kompaktno, gumirano tipkovnico je poganjal Zilog Z80A CPU s hitrostjo 3,5 MHz in je bil na voljo v različnih modelih z različnimi kapacitetami pomnilnika, od prvotnih 16 KB do kasnejših 128 KB različic. Kljub temu, da je bila gumirana tipkovnica kritizirana zaradi nepraktičnosti za daljše tipkanje, kar je pogosto vodilo do prilagojenih zamenjav, je bil vpliv ZX Spectruma globok. Ohišje ZX Spectruma je kompaktno in pravokotno, s prepoznavno črno barvo. Tipke so označene z več funkcijami, vključno s črkami, številkami in posebnimi simboli, kar odraža večnamensko naravo naprave. Na levi strani ohišja je običajno majhen logotip, ki označuje model, medtem ko prednji rob vključuje vrsto priključkov in vtičnic za periferne naprave, kot so kasetofoni in tiskalniki. Zadnja stran ohišja je opremljena z dodatnimi priključki, vključno z napajalnim vhodom, TV izhodom in razširitvenim priključkom. Oblikovanje ZX Spectruma je minimalistično, z enostavno in funkcionalno estetiko. [ENG]: Amid the surge of 1980s home computers, the ZX Spectrum stood out as a groundbreaking device that captivated an entire generation. Introduced by Sinclair Research in 1982, the ZX Spectrum was a pivotal entry into the burgeoning home computer market, notable for its affordability and distinctive design. Its graphical capabilities, though modest by today's standards, were remarkable at the time, featuring a palette of 15 colors and a resolution of 256x192 pixels, which enabled vibrant and engaging visuals for games and applications. It quickly became a favorite among hobbyists, educators, and gamers, thanks to its vast library of software, including iconic games of the era that pushed the boundaries of what was possible on an 8-bit machine. Moreover, its influence extended far beyond the UK, sparking a wave of creativity and innovation that would shape the future of computing, with many developers and enthusiasts who started with the ZX Spectrum going on to play significant roles in the tech industry. Featuring a compact, rubber-keyed keyboard, the ZX Spectrum was powered by a Zilog Z80A CPU running at 3.5 MHz and offered various models with memory capacities ranging from the original 16 KB to the later 128 KB versions. Despite the rubber keyboard being criticized for its impracticality for extended typing, often leading to custom replacements, the ZX Spectrum's impact was profound. The ZX Spectrum case is compact and rectangular, featuring a distinctive black color. The keys are labeled with multiple functions, including letters, numbers, and special symbols, reflecting the device's multifunctional nature. The left side of the case typically has a small logo indicating the model, while the front edge includes a series of connectors and ports for peripherals, such as cassette recorders and printers. The rear of the case is equipped with additional ports, including a power input, TV output, and expansion connector. The ZX Spectrum’s design is minimalist, with a straightforward, functional aesthetic.
