The Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128K, affectionately known as the “Toastrack” due to its distinctive sleek and vented metal-finish case, was a significant upgrade to the Spectrum line, released in 1986. This model boasted 128KB of RAM, expanded audio capabilities through an AY-3-8912 sound chip, and MIDI support, enhancing the machine’s music and gaming potential. The 128K model also introduced enhanced BASIC commands and compatibility with the ZX Microdrive mass storage system, further expanding the Spectrum’s capabilities. Despite its industrial design receiving mixed reviews, the “Toastrack” Spectrum 128K remains a unique and highly sought-after model among collectors and enthusiasts of retro computing.
