Main hardware changes: *Replaced the bus buffers with [[resistor]]s like ZX Spectrum *Changed the I/O connector to be ZX Spectrum compatible (not requiring the Zebra Twister board) *Changed the cartridge slot top casing to accept bigger cartridges (for example "Spectrum emulator"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/4000071/Timex/Spectrum_Emulator|title=Spectrum Emulator at Spectrum Computing - Sinclair ZX Spectrum games, software and hardware|website=Spectrum Computing}}</ref> and "Timeword"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/4000128/Timex/Time_Word|title=Time Word at Spectrum Computing - Sinclair ZX Spectrum games, software and hardware|website=Spectrum Computing}}</ref> cartridges) *Uses 9V instead of 15V
