===PLD-based clones=== These machines are based on [[programmable logic device|programmable logic devices (PLDs)]] – [[Electronics|electronic]] components used to build [[Reconfigurable computing|reconfigurable]] [[Digital electronics|digital circuits]]. ==== Buryak ==== A ZX Spectrum compatible computer with a real Z80 cpu, VGA, Turbosound, PS/2 keyboard, Kempston joystick, customized for Raspberry Pi 3B case.<ref>{{cite web |last=AnMi3 |title=Buryak Pi 2020 |website=[[GitHub]] |url=https://github.com/AnMi3/buryak-pi-2020}}</ref> ==== Centoventotto ==== A ZX Spectrum clone made by Mario Pratto in 2022. ==== Chrome and Chrome 128 ==== '''Chrome''' and '''Chrome 128''' are Spectrum clones featuring a 7 MHz Zilog Z80 CPU, 160+64 RAM, PlusD floppy disk interface, AY sound chip, and an [[RGB]] [[SCART]] port.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://aticatac.altervista.org/portale/?q=node/2|title=Chrome - Italian ZX Spectrum clone|website=aticatac.altervista.org/}}</ref> ==== eLeMeNt ZX ==== The '''eLeMeNt ZX''' was developed by Jan Kučera (a.k.a. LMN128) in 2020, based on a lot of experience from developments of the universal FPGA interface named MB03+.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sinclair.wiki.zxnet.co.uk/wiki/MB03%2B_Ultimate|title=MB03+ Ultimate|website=sinclair.wiki.zxnet.co.uk}}</ref> It is the first (and only, as of 2022) clone with 100% hardware and display timings aligned with a digital video and sound output (incl. HDMI). It uses a genuine (faster) Z80 CPU switchable from 3.5 MHz up to 20 MHz, which can be overclocked to 30 MHz, or changed for a T80 core at higher speed. Other logic circuitry is integrated in the Alchitry AU and AU+ FPGA modules, attachable to the eLeMeNt's motherboard. The eLeMeNt ZX combines 48K, 128K, +2, +2A, and many Russian memory models, including four [[Pentagon (computer)]] and several other Russian models, and the most popular interfaces, such as: K-Mouse; TurboSound FM; Sound Interface Device ([[MOS Technology 6581|SID]]); enhanced Covox and Soundrive; DivMMC; Z-Controller; Timex and advanced HiRes 512×192 with attributes and [[Planar (computer graphics)|planar-based]] and chunky [[ZX Spectrum graphic modes#HGFX Graphics|HGFX graphics modes]]; ULA+ and indexed true colour palettes; USB mouse and keyboard; 2 interchangeable SD card slots; 3 joystick slots, supporting 2-button Kempston and 8-button Sega controllers; USB serial connection with PC through a standard USB-A cable. The eLeMeNt features the original ZX bus (1x external, 2x internal), a USB-A serial connection and a rich internal pinout expansion for other modern peripherals. The eLeMeNt has 2 MB of RAM, which is upgradeable to 4 MB. The ROM system supports 16K to 64 KB ROMs, plus SetUp (BIOS) ROM, Rescue ROM, and the latest version of the modern FAT and POSIX-API based filesystem: esxDOS.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sites.google.com/view/elementzx/home|title=eLeMeNt ZX is a powerful ZX Spectrum clone|website=128land.com}}</ref> ==== Humble 48 ==== A spanish clone, introduced in 2017.<ref>{{cite web |last=BCH |date=2017 |title=Humble48 - Clon Spectrum 48k |url=https://www.va-de-retro.com/foros/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=5733 |website=Va de Retro (Satanás)}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/30zer6q2ifaoa82cjhqr0/Humble48_3.1b.zip?rlkey=pmyz5sy6o7edl5wpn4gfisv9x&dl=0|title=Dropbox|website=www.dropbox.com}}</ref> ==== Karabas 128, Pro ==== The Karabas-128 is a ZX Spectrum 128k clone developed by Andy Karpov, based on CPLD Altera EPM7128STC100.<ref>{{cite web |last=Karpov |first=Andy |date=2022 |title=Karabas-128 Yet another ZX Spectrum clone ;) |website=[[GitHub]] |url=https://github.com/andykarpov/karabas-128}}</ref> The Karabas Pro is FPGA based clone with FDD and HDD controllers.<ref>{{cite web |last=Karpov |first=Andy |date=2023 |title=Karabas-Pro Yet another FPGA ZX Spectrum clone ;) |website=[[GitHub]] |url=https://github.com/andykarpov/karabas-pro}}</ref> ==== N-Go ==== A clone of the ZX Spectrum Next. ==== SAM Coupé ==== {{main|SAM Coupé}} '''SAM Coupé''' was an advanced 8-bit computer from 1989, compatible with the ZX Spectrum 48K. The design of the disk-drive hardware was based on the MG PlusD interface. SAM BASIC was very similar to the BetaBasic, and was developed by the same author. The Coupé was considered the successor to the ZX Spectrum in the late '80s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.crashonline.org.uk/50/sam.htm|title=CRASH 50 - Tech Niche: SAM Coupé|website=www.crashonline.org.uk}}</ref> ==== Sizif ==== The Sizif is a ZX Spectrum CPLD-based clone for rubber case, developed by Eugene Lozovoy.<ref>{{cite web |last=Lozovoy |first=Eugene |title=Sizif-512 |website=[[GitHub]] |url=https://github.com/UzixLS/zx-sizif-512}}</ref> ==== Speccy 2010 ==== The Speccy2010 is FPGA development board by Martin Bórik, built for the implementation of various gaming computers, originally focused on ZX Spectrum and its clones.<ref>{{cite web |last=Bórik |first=Martin |date=2022 |title=Speccy2010 |website=[[GitHub]] |url=https://github.com/mborik/speccy2010}}</ref> ==== Sprinter ==== {{main|Sprinter (computer)}} ==== Superfo (ZX mini, ZX Max, ZX Spider, ZX Nuvo) ==== These are ZX Spectrum clones by Don "Superfo".<ref>{{Cite web |title=ZX Max 48 |url=https://www.qsl.net/yt2fsg/zx_spectrum/zx_spectrum_clone.html |access-date=2023-01-29 |website=www.qsl.net}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=ZX 48 Spider |url=https://speccy.pl/wiki/index.php?title=ZX_48_Spider |website=ZX Spectrum Wiki}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://onedrive.live.com/?id=E0ADBB58ADB8D869%21141&cid=E0ADBB58ADB8D869 | title=OneDrive }}</ref> ==== ZX Badaloc ==== '''ZX Badaloc''' was the very first CPLD/FPGA advanced ZX Spectrum clone.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.probosci.de/zxbada/|title= ZX-Badaloc Reloaded|website=www.probosci.de/zxbada/fpga}}</ref> ==== ZX Chloe 280SE ==== Based on the ZX Spectrum SE (128K model + Timex), could be seen as a continuation of the ZX-Uno. <ref>{{Cite web|last=Old|first=Vintage is The New|date=4 February 2020|title=Introducing the Chloe 280SE, a new Z80 microcomputer|url=https://vintageisthenewold.com/introducing-the-chloe-280se-a-new-z80-microcomputer/|access-date=30 July 2020|website=Vintage is the New Old, Retro Games News, Retro Gaming, Retro Computing|language=en-US|archive-date=16 May 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240516004252/https://www.vintageisthenewold.com/introducing-the-chloe-280se-a-new-z80-microcomputer|url-status=live}}</ref> ==== ZX-Evolution (Ts-Conf and Baseconf) ==== A Spectrum-compatible computer with improved hardware specifications and using modern peripherals.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hobby computer ZX Evolution! |url=http://www.nedopc.com/zxevo/zxevo_eng.php |website=NedoPC.COM}}</ref> In addition to the basic core (Baseconf), it also has extended core named TS-Conf, which supports sprites, other extended video modes and have original memory manager. ==== ZX Prism ==== The '''ZX Prism''' is a proposal for a modern ZX Spectrum clone.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://zxprism.blogspot.com/|title=ZX Prism|website=zxprism.blogspot.com}}</ref> ==== ZX-Uno(+) ==== The '''ZX-Uno''' is based on a FPGA board focused on replicating ZX Spectrum computer models.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ZX-Uno [ZX Spectrum Computer Clone Based on FPGA] |url=https://zxuno.speccy.org/index_e.shtml |access-date=2022-11-26 |website=zxuno.speccy.org}}</ref> It has a similar size to the [[Raspberry Pi]] and fit into a RasPi case.
