This Wiki is an attempt at rebooting the Sinclair FAQ.
The long term aim is for it to replace the existing stagnant Sinclair FAQs and Tech Wiki as an up to date repository for Sinclair related information on the internet.
If you would like to contribute to articles please register/log in.
Note: if you created an account before the Wiki was moved from the zxshed site your old username/password should still be valid.
Current Status
The wiki is slowly growing, there are several full articles now but it still needs contributions. Please take a look at SinclairFAQ talk:What Needs Doing to see what parts of the wiki you can help with.
