I've got a Z88 but to be honest, I've probably not used it to its fullest potential.

«THIS COMPACT. THIS POWERFUL.»
Advertisement for the Z88 computer, highlighting its compact size, powerful software, and wide range of accessories. It's less than an inch thick, weighs under two pounds, runs on four AA batteries, and its software can do word processing and can be used as a spreadsheet. THIS COMPACT. THIS POWERFUL. Z88.£24999 + VAT The Z88 computer, from Clive Sinclair. It's less than an inch thick, and the size of an A4 pad. It weighs under two pounds. It runs on four AA batteries. And it costs just £249.99 plus VAT. A computer, above all. From the start, the Z88 was designed to give you all the capability of a personal computer in a package that dramatically increases its convenience. The Z88 has a comp- rehensive suite of software built in. Word-processing, spreadsheet, and more... all powerful applications software, all offering the same sorts of facilities you have on your desktop PC. And because the Z88 is a personal computer in its own right, it can exchange information with your IBM-compatible via its RS232 port. Load a document from your desk-top, work on it while you're away, load the revisions back in on your return. The same port also feeds virtually any popular printer... Screen? The latest supertwist liquid crystal. It's a massive improvement on ordinary displays - and provides a large working area of 8 lines x 94 characters. It also includes a unique page map that shows you where you are on a complete page. Forget fragile disks, forget bulky disk drives. Memory? The Z88 comes with 32K of RAM built-in-enough for a 2,000-word document. Extra RAM comes in the form of rugged, solid-state packs - each measuring just over two inches square by 3/8 inches thick. In 32K and 128K, these packs simply slot into the Z88 to expand its RAM to as much as 416K. And with the coming introduction of 1Mbyte packs, you'll have total RAM of over 3Mbytes at your disposal enough to hold the complete works of Shakespeare. And more power than virtually any desktop PC. A box file (or...

Richard Russell's "Z88 BASIC Patch" adds graphics support to BBC BASIC. It can also print out the graphics area, but this requires an Epson-compatible printer which the Serial 8056 isn't. I've developed a patch for a patch, in other words. benryves.com/bin/z88/8056...

A 3D printed slab in the style of the Cambridge Z88, with a high resolution color LCD with touch screen, and the keyboard from the quoted skeet under it. Some wires come from the LCD and continue off-frame. The LCD is showing the Raspbian OS desktop.
