did 128k machines dominate ZX market?I have a question about 128k Spectrums. Did they dominate the ZX market in late 80's / early 90's? I mean where there more 128k users than 48k users …
I am not sure if in Spain there were more 48 K and the end of the ZX era. A lot of +2A were sold between 1988 and 1991, and probably 0 48k were sold between those years.
