It's no clone. Think... Hmm. Imagine if Acorn or Sinclair had pulled a Iigs
on their own machines? It's a Z80 home computer designed in 1983 which has
4Mb addressable RAM, custom chips for stereo sound and 256 colour graphics
(soft video, it can do all sorts of things), hot-swap cartridges, and a
deeply clever operating system...

They also look weird as anything, with the cursor keys replaced by a tiny
joystick...

I have schematics for expansions from Hungary, but the costs of producing
them are high.

Well, they made 50,000, and they're pretty common in Hungary. Just rare in
the UK.
