Science of Cambridge MK14

Science of Cambridge · 1978

Clive Sinclair's first computer: a £40 single-board kit with a calculator keypad and a seven-segment display, sold by Science of Cambridge in 1978. It is barely a computer and it is where Sinclair's whole computing business began — the direct ancestor of the ZX80. Historically important and often found badly built.
