> > Is the ZX spectrum a Timex Sinclair 1000 clone ???

I don't know, I'm talking about the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, it was very
popular in Europe about 1984, it has 16K RAM and the processor is a Z80.
It needs 9V DC, then I think there is no problem with batteries. But I
need to repair it before, because the keyboard doesn't work, Do I need
the Keboard?

Another chance I have for may first robot's brain is a pocket PC, it has
540K RAM, 2MB RAM-CARD I, 8088. But I'm not very sure because I don't
want to break it 'yet'.

I'm going to look for old components (floppies, VCR...), Which of them
are better to provide the motors?

How Can I design the body of the robot?
