I think I have to specify my statement 'around' ment 'world wide'.
AFAIR in South America Sinclair switched soon for 2KB configurations
to compete with a vast field of clones. In Germany (and as I assume
from previous information and your lines) only 1 KB units and kits
have been sold - I think this is also true for most other parts of
Europe (anybody to correct me from Spain or Portugal ?).
