The Cambridge Z88 was an A4-size, lightweight, portable Z80-based computer with a built-in combined word processing/spreadsheet/database application called Pipedream, along with several other apps/utilities, such as a Z80-version of BBC BASIC.

The machine was designed by Sir Clive Sinclair and released by his company Cambridge Computers in 1987 (Sir Clive having been unable to market the computer as the Sinclair Z88 after selling Sinclair Research's computer business to Amstrad in 1986).

Technical description


The Z88 is a portable computer based on a low-power CMOS version of the popular Z80 microprocessor. It comes with 32Kbytes of internal RAM and 128Kbytes of ROM containing the Operating System (called OZ), but can be amplied up to 3.5Mbytes of RAM, which is non-volatile thanks to the batteries.
