* The TC2048 was designed and produced in Portugal. Basically, the TC2048 is a TC2068 with all the extra hardware removed, except the new ULA, but a normal BASIC ROM (only slightly modified), a BNC composite out (but no RGB signals on the bus), and a [[Kempston joystick interface|Kempston]] joystick port (but no +5v as needed by autofire joysticks). | * The TC2048 was designed and produced in Portugal.

* The TS2068 is an American machine operating at 60Hz on a 110v power supply and generates an NTSC television picture (just like the Spectrums sold by mail order in the US by Sinclair) but with a [[Timex TS1000|TS1000]] (ZX81) compatible expansion bus. | * The TS2068 is an American machine operating at 60Hz on a 110v power supply and generates an NTSC television picture (just like the Spectrums sold by mail order in the US by Sinclair) but with a [[Timex TS1000|TS1000]] (ZX81) compatible expansion bus. | ||
