Sinclair PC200
Computers · Amstrad
An Amstrad-built PC compatible sold under the Sinclair name — built-in joystick ports and TV output aimed the family-room end of the PC market.
By 1988 Amstrad, having bought the Sinclair computer business two years earlier, used the Sinclair name one more time for a PC-compatible aimed at the living room rather than the office — built-in joystick ports and a TV modulator alongside the usual PC ports, positioning it as a step up from the Spectrum +2/+3 for a household already invested in the Sinclair name. It sold in far smaller numbers than the Spectrum line ever had, and was one of the last products to carry the Sinclair brand.
