Timex Computer 2048


The TC-2048 or Timex Computer 2048 is a 1984 computer developed by Timex Portugal, the portuguese branch of Timex Corporation.
It was based on the Timex Sinclair 2048 prototype, a 16k version of the TS-2068, with a similar redesign case, Kempston joystick interface and additional video modes.
It was highly compatible with the Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer, although differences in the ROM prevented 100% compatibility.
Timex Portugal sold the TC 2048 in Portugal and Poland, where it was very successful, selling more than 10000 units.
Also, a NTSC version was sold in Chile.
This computer forms the basis of an improved Spectrum-compatible machine, the Spectrum SE.
Two modifications of the TC2048 exist: the TC2128 and the TC2144.
Both extend the RAM to 128K and upgrade the ULA to use four screen areas.
