File:Ferranti Archives ZX80-SIN-LIT-130 Sinclair ZX80 assembly instructions with circuit diagram, 1980.pdf
Summary
[edit | edit source]Colour scans of Sinclair's ZX80 kit assembly instructions, "(c) Sinclair Research Ltd. 1980", a folded sheet printed on both sides: sections 1 to 11 (preparation, precautions, assembly, construction order, testing, power supply, faults, the white-on-black display option, component list, miscellaneous parts, service), the component location drawing of the Issue 2 board, and the ZX80 circuit diagram on its reverse. It is the same leaflet as the copy on the Sinclair ZX80 Assembly Instructions page but a different edition. Differences include the supply range (7 to 11 V here, 7 to 12 V in the wiki copy), the ROM (2332 here, 8332 or TMS 4732 there), C15 (0 to 330 pF here), a fault-list entry on curing picture jitter with C15 where the wiki copy has an ohmmeter check for solder bridges, and no refund clause in the service section. The changes suggest this is the earlier printing. This copy includes the circuit diagram, which the wiki copy lacks; the diagram's IC table lists IC7 and IC9 as 74LS167 and 74LS166 where the component list has 74LS157 and 74LS165. The ZX81 equivalent is ZX81-SIN-LIT-131. Part of the Ferranti Archives 2026.
