A sign of the Times...
I guess this isn't a good time to ask Uncle Rupert if the Spectrum ROM can be released as Open Source.

Too expensive for me so I'll be busy winding up research.

After Thursday a good source of some data is the London Gazette. I've been looking at history from 1780 - 1850 but modern stuff is in and you'd be surprised at how many people are going bankrupt at the moment. Or not if you saw the signs.

Type in Jupiter Cantab and you get the original October 1983 announcement from Steven John Vickers that things were going a bit pear shaped. Imagine Software is in there too and I have only just researched the golden computer age.

There are Belfast and Edinburgh versions for heather lowpers.

However, I can see value in letting sleeping dogs lie. Perhaps if prodded over the ROM they will suddenly decide to deny distribution, which while would spur development of the open ROMs, would be a bit of a short term disaster.

It's not all gloom and doom in the London Gazette and in 1975 Sinclair Radionics received the Queen's Award for Industry for export sales. They were not the only company sending goods overseas in the 1970s - there were loads of them.

Plenty free stuff about Sinclair in the 200 years of Times archive until Thursday though

A bit busy at the moment.

Some Library authorities have a subscription to it.
