Editing List of ZX Spectrum clones (section)

===Romanian===

==== CoBra ====
The '''CoBra''' ('''COmputer BRAsov''') was a ZX Spectrum clone built in [[Braşov]], [[Romania]] in 1988.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.homecomputer.de/pages/easteurope_ro.html#cobra|title=HCM: East-European Home-Computer ...|website=www.homecomputer.de}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/11/the-underground-story-of-cobra-the-1980s-illicit-handmade-computer/|title=The underground story of Cobra, the 1980s' illicit handmade computer|first=Ars|last=Staff|date=November 1, 2017|website=Ars Technica}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.homecomputer.de/images/infos/east-europe/Cobra_de.txt|title=CoBra (COmputer BRAsov)}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://zx.interface1.net/clones/cobra.html|title=Sinclair Nostalgia Products - Sinclair Clones - Cobra|website=zx.interface1.net}}</ref> ROM contained the OPUS and CP/M operating systems.

==== CIP series ====
The '''CIP''' are Romanian ZX Spectrum clones made by Întreprinderea Electronică.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://zx.interface1.net/clones/cip.html|title=Sinclair Nostalgia Products - Sinclair Clones - CIP-03|website=zx.interface1.net}}</ref> CIP stands for '''Calculator pentru Instruire Personală''' ("Computer for Personal Education"). The ROM is original Sinclair, but has been modified to display 'BASIC S' in place of the standard Sinclair copyright message. Only one set of 8&nbsp;x&nbsp;1-bit 64&nbsp;KB RAM modules is present.

The initial version, '''CIP-02,''' had a low quality 2&nbsp;KB EEPROM with a propensity for fast data loss, and BASIC had to be loaded from tape. '''CIP-03''' was a version of the EEPROM designed to work with the 3 data densities on the tape at speeds up to 3 times higher than the original, and the 2K ROM was also capable of loading and saving at those speeds, using the whole 64K as storage. The top data density was often hit and miss; very good magnetic tape had to be used, and a special monophonic cassette recorder could be bought separately for best results. Produced from 1988 to 1993 it was a common clone in Romania, with about 15,000 units produced. '''CIP-04''' was a ZX Spectrum +3 clone with a built-in floppy disk drive and 256&nbsp;KB RAM.

==== Felix HC series ====
'''Felix HC''' are a series of ZX Spectrum clones manufactured in Romania from 1985 to 1994 by ICE Felix.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://zx.interface1.net/clones/hc85.html|title=Sinclair Nostalgia Products - Sinclair Clones - Felix HC 85, HC 90, HC 91|website=zx.interface1.net}}</ref> The '''HC''' designation stands for '''Home Computer''', and for the first four models in the series, the number indicates the year of first manufacture. Models in the series were: '''HC 85''', '''HC 88''', '''HC 90''', '''HC 91''', '''HC91+''' ('''HC128'''), [[:ro:HC#HC 2000|'''HC 2000''']]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sinclaircollection.site/?page_id=508|title=ICE Felix HC 2000 – Sinclair Collection Site}}</ref> and '''HC386'''.

The earliest version ('''HC 85''') closely resembled the Spectrum, with a built-in [[BASIC]] interpreter, Z80A processor, 48&nbsp;KB RAM, tape, and TV interfaces.<ref>[http://www.csit-sun.pub.ro/research/history/HC%2085.pdf Microcalculatorul personal HC-85.], Authors: A. Petrescu, F. Iacob, T. Domocos, T. Mihu, E. Dobrovie</ref> It was used in schools/universities, and as a personal computer.

An optional Interface 1 expansion was available for the HC 85, HC 90, and HC 91. It was functionally similar to the [[ZX Interface 1]], but instead of Microdrives it supported single-density or double-density floppy disks.

The '''HC 90''' had a redesigned circuit board supporting fewer, larger memory chips; it was functionally equivalent to the HC 85.

The '''HC 91''' had a modified keyboard with 50 keys instead of 40. It had 64&nbsp;KB RAM, and extra circuitry which provided [[CP/M]] support if the Interface 1 expansion was also present.

The '''HC 2000''' (manufactured from 1992 to 1994) had a built-in 3.5-inch 720&nbsp;KB floppy disk drive, and 64&nbsp;KB RAM. It could be used both as a Spectrum clone with added disk functionality (only 48&nbsp;KB RAM available) or in CP/M mode, giving access to the full 64&nbsp;KB memory. Essentially, it consolidated the HC 91, Interface 1, and floppy disk drive into a single case.

The last model to be made in the Z80 line was the '''HC91+'''. It was a ZX Spectrum 128K clone in a HC91 case and keyboard, and had some compatibility problems. For the first time, the AY-8910 sound chip was offered as an add-on service, and was soldered on the board by factory technicians. [[Demoscene]] demos had problems running multi-colour effects, and displaying sound VU meter-like effects, through lack of data in the AY chip.

==== JET ====
'''JET''' was a Romanian clone from 1989<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sinclaircollection.site/?page_id=506|title=Electromagnetica JET – Sinclair Collection Site}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://zx.interface1.net/clones/jet.html|title=Sinclair Nostalgia Products - Sinclair Clones - JET|website=zx.interface1.net}}</ref> produced by Electromagnetica. JET is an acronym for '''''J'''ocuri '''E'''lectronice pe '''T'''elevizor'' ("Electronic Games on Television").

==== Timisoara series ====
The '''Timisoara''' series were Romanian ZX Spectrum clones developed in a university of [[Timișoara]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-11-21 |title=IPTVT (TRAIAN VUIA POLYTECHNICAL INSTITUTE) MicroTim+ |url=http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=649 |access-date=2023-03-09 |website=OLD-COMPUTERS.COM : The Museum|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101121052238/http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=649 |archive-date=2010-11-21 }}</ref> Its name is a portmanteau of Timişoara and Spectrum.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://retroit.ro/product/tim-s/|title=Tim-S}}</ref> The first model, '''TIM-S''', It had Source (ALIM) parallel and serial connectors, as well as ports for connecting a cassette recorder, and television set. Later models ('''microTIM, microTIM+ and TIM-S+''') were equipped with a joystick port, and came with 128&nbsp;KB RAM and an AY-3-8912 sound chip.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=622|title=IPTVT (TRAIAN VUIA POLYTECHNICAL INSTITUTE) > MicroTim}}</ref> Production continued into the early 1990s.<gallery>

==== Sages ====
'''Sages V1''' was a ZX Spectrum clone with audio and joystick connectors placed on the front of the case, and a keyboard similar to that of the Ice Felix HC-85K.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-11-21 |title=SAGES V1 |url=http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=1097 |access-date=2023-03-09 |website=OLD-COMPUTERS.COM : The Museum|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101121050123/http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=1097 |archive-date=2010-11-21 }}</ref>

==== Pandora ====
'''Pandora''' was a ZX Spectrum clone, sold by a private engineer from [[Buzău]]. It had larger EPROM, allowing switch between classic Spectrum and a customized mode (character using a bold typeset, Pandora message displayed on startup, etc.).
