Rewrite notes

• Better organization
  • No real lead section, too long and not a summary
• Get rid of nostalgia
  • If we don't know something, let's not speculate on its unknown-ness.
• Other cleanup
  • Don't direct the reader to outside website, turn it into a citation to a reference.
  • What was "...which was not suitable for the market at that specific moment in time. supposed to mean?
  • Peacock prose "entirely designed by..." etc. , speculation about arsonist.

Chip

VIA 6522 or ACIA 6551? -- Polluks ★ 14:25, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

• I concur. The 6522 is not an ACIA. It's a digital I/O device, not a serial one. With this in mind, I'm inclined to question the validity/accuracy of the entire paragraph. 92.135.10.210 (talk) 16:35, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Stratos

Is there any evidence that the Stratos was ever made or sold other than the unit shown at the show the day before OPI went under? Iv'e seen a number of Telestrats - I've never seen evidence of a Stratos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.145.104 (talk) 20:59, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

"Super reliable" tape interface?

How can it be deemed as super-reliable if there was allegedly a faulty error-check routine in ROM that would prevent programs to be loaded back? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.55.62.246 (talk) 15:58, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

• The tape section also says AII types of information may be saved such as programs - A I I ? Was this OCRed from a press release or something? 92.135.10.210 (talk) 16:38, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Undercutting Price By How Much?

"undercutting the price of the 48 KB version of the Spectrum by a few pounds"; how much by? £5, 10%, etc? Capturts (talk) 14:49, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Redirection

I expected OriC to be origin of replication, chromosomal, for bacteria. Could this be added as redirection notice? 2A02:8388:1602:6D80:C080:419D:679D:C9F8 (talk) 03:03, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

I found that a redirect from OriC did already exist, but I added it to the template at the top of this article. Good call, as many users would type all lower case when searching and could miss it. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 12:00, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
