But then, I will choose from machines with a higher
bit! At a price I can afford, of course! Although there is nothing to choose from in the ex-USSR other than pussies. :( Therefore, I think I’ll stick with Spec for a long time
(critical mass has not yet built up :).
I liked the note in the ZX-F “Superspectrum”. Great idea! And
It would be time for Scorpios to create a new “mother”.
And Sprinter is closer to the Spec emulator (on some completely new
platform) than to the Spectrum!
All the best.
With respect, Roman Milukov.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is what Sprinter is.

The platform in Sprinter is Spectrum's. The same Z80, the same VG93, and all the rest is iron, this is just a different element base. It’s all the same as the transition from the 155th
series to the 1533rd. Plus more capabilities of this scheme, more RAM and higher
processor speed.
