Timex Sinclair was a joint venture established in December 1982{{Cite web|url=https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_tx/0005686106|title=TIMEX COMPUTER CORPORATION :: Texas (US) :: OpenCorporates|website=opencorporates.com}}{{Cite news |date=February 23, 1984 |title=Timex Abandons Line of Low-Cost Home Computers |pages=32 |work=Toledo Blade 23 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=K0dSAAAAIBAJ&dq=%22Timex+Sinclair%22&pg=PA17&article_id=5483,7099739}} between the British company Sinclair Research and Timex Corporation in an effort to gain an entry into the rapidly growing early-1980s home computer market in North America.{{Cite book |url=https://ia802909.us.archive.org/35/items/sinclair-research/Sinclair_Press_Releases.pdf |title=AMERICAN EXPRESS BOOSTS SALES OF THE ZX81 |publisher=Sinclair Research Limited |year=1982}}

History

The choice of partnership was natural, as Timex was already the main contractor for manufacture of Sinclair's ZX81 and ZX Spectrum computers at its Scottish plant in Dundee.

Due to large demand another manufacturer was needed, so Timex Portugal (TMX Portugal Lda, a Portuguese Timex subsidiary{{Cite news |last=Luckman |first=Paul |date=February 7, 2022 |title=Timex Portugal, Clive Sinclair and Maggie Thatcher |work=The Portugal News |url=https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2022-02-07/timex-portugal-clive-sinclair-and-maggie-thatcher/65079}}), with skilled and relatively cheap labor force, took on the production of models to be exported to the U.S..{{Cite news |last=J.C.M. |date=April 6, 2017 |title=Quando na Caparica se faziam computadores para todo o mundo |work=Correio da Manhã |url=https://www.cmjornal.pt/mais-cm/detalhe/quando-na-caparica-se-faziam-computadores-para-todo-o-mundo}}

Timex Portugal sold the Timex Sinclair (ex: T/S 2068) models in Portugal and Poland under the Timex Computer (ex: TC 2068){{Cite web |title=TIMEX COMPUTERS TC-2048 |url=https://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=935 |website=OLD-COMPUTERS.COM : The Museum}} brand. In order to market Timex Sinclair products in the United States, Timex Corporation created a subsidiary named "Timex Computer Corporation", and sold machines under the brand Timex Sinclair.{{Cite web |title=Timex Computer Corporation – Timex/Sinclair Computers |url=https://www.timexsinclair.com/company/timex-computer-corporation/ |website=Timex/Sinclair The Authoritative Website for Timex/Sinclair Computers}}

Timex Sinclair ended as Timex Corporation withdrew from the U.S. home computer market in January 1984 but Timex Portugal continued to manufacture, sell and develop hardware in Portugal and Poland for another ten years, with some machines also being sold in Canada and Argentina (see Czerweny computers). A 1986 report mentions that 800.000 systems, between TC 2048, TC 2068 and FDD3000, were sold to Poland.{{Cite web |title=Poland |url=http://worldofspectrum.org/timex/poland.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191230203546/http://worldofspectrum.org/timex/poland.htm |archive-date=2019-12-30 |access-date=2022-11-28 |website=World of Spectrum}}

Overall, Timex Sinclair machines were nowhere near as successful as their UK progenitors; in contrast with the ZX Spectrum, which was the best-selling computer in Britain at the time, the T/S 2068 was a relative failure, partly due to Timex Corporation leaving the computer business shortly after its introduction.{{Cite web |title=Timex Portugal, Clive Sinclair and Maggie Thatcher |url=https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2022-02-07/timex-portugal-clive-sinclair-and-maggie-thatcher/65079 |access-date=2023-06-21 |website=www.theportugalnews.com |language=en}}

The T/S 1000 was introduced in July 1982, with Timex Sinclair touting it as the first home computer to cost under $100 in the U.S. market.{{Cite news |date=April 22, 1982 |title=Timex Corp.

In 1983, about 100,000 units were sold in Canada, and 400,000 in the US, with the price dropping to $49.95.

A new computer was announced in May. Named T/S 2000, it was based on the ZX Spectrum,{{Cite news |last=Blechman |first=Fred |date=1983 |title=Glimpse of the Series 2000 |volume=1 |pages=21–25 |work=Timex Sinclair User |issue=3 |url=https://archive.org/details/TimexSinclairUser/Timex%20Sinclair%20User%20issue%203/page/20/mode/2up}} and would come in with 16 or 48K RAM versions, costing $150 or $200. The 16K version was cancelled, and the 48K version was released as T/S 2068.{{Cite web |title=Timex/Sinclair 2000 – Timex/Sinclair Computers |url=https://www.timexsinclair.com/product/ts2000/ |website=Timex/Sinclair - The Authoritative Website for Timex/Sinclair Computers}}

Two new computers were introduced that same year, the T/S 1500 and T/S 2068.{{Cite news |last=Mace |first=Scott |date=November 14, 1983 |title=Q&A: Dan Ross |volume=5 |pages=109 |work=InfoWorld |issue=46 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wS8EAAAAMBAJ&dq=%22Timex+Sinclair%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA109}} Both were more expensive ($79{{Cite news |last=Mace |first=Scott |date=June 20, 1983 |title=TRS-80 MC-10 'battles' T/S 2000 |volume=5 |pages=1 |work=InfoWorld |issue=25 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zC8EAAAAMBAJ&dq=%22Timex+Sinclair+1500%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA1}} and $199 respectively) and with low sales.

=Released computers=

Timex Sinclair released four computers, all of them based (to some extent) on Sinclair Research's existing machines. In chronological order:

T/S 1000, introduced in July 1982 and essentially a modified ZX81 with 2 KB RAM.
T/S 1500, introduced in August 1983, it was a T/S 1000 with 16 KiB RAM and a ZX Spectrum-like case and keyboard.{{cite news |author=Mitchell, Peter W. |date=1983-09-06 |title=A summer-CES report |pages=4 |work=Boston Phoenix |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=gn0hAAAAIBAJ&sjid=tYoFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5584%2C3561802 |accessdate=10 January 2015}}
T/S 2068 (TC 2068), released in November 1983, was a ZX Spectrum-based machine with enhancements, namely a cartridge port to make it compete with video game consoles, which resulted in poor compatibility with software developed for the original. Based on the T/S 2000 prototype. It was marketed under the Timex Computer brand in Canada, Argentina, Portugal and Poland{{Cite web |title=worldofspectrum.org - timex - poland |url=http://worldofspectrum.org/timex/poland.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191230203546/http://worldofspectrum.org/timex/poland.htm |archive-date=2019-12-30 |access-date=2022-11-28}} as TC 2068.{{Cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/TimexSinclair2068Manuals/TS2068-Manual/page/i/mode/2up |title=Timex Sinclair 2068 PERSONAL COLOR COMPUTER USER MANUAL |publisher=Timex Computer Corporation |year=1983}}{{cite news |author=Advertisement |date=December 1983 |title=Now from Timex...a powerful new computer. |pages=281 |work=BYTE |url=https://archive.org/stream/byte-magazine-1983-12/1983_12_BYTE_08-12_Easy_Software#page/n281/mode/2up |accessdate=20 October 2013}}
TC 2048, released in 1984, was a ZX Spectrum-based machine with a T/S 2068-like keyboard. Based on the T/S 2000 prototype and featured improved compatibility with the ZX Spectrum. Only sold in Portugal and Poland under the Timex Computer brand.{{Cite web |title=TC-2048 Timex Computers |url=https://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=935 |website=www.old-computers.com}}{{Cite web |date=2001 |title=Timex Computer 2048 |url=http://timex.comboios.info/tc2048.html |website=Timex Computer World}}

TC3256 was the next proposed computer. It was designed as the third generation of Timex Computer Technology, but it vanished when Timex Portugal shut down its production line.{{Cite web | url=http://timex.comboios.info/PT/tc3256.html |title = Timex Computer 3256 - Portugal}}{{Cite web |title=15110 – Bem-vindo ao Museu [EN] – New – LOAD Guia |url=https://loadzx.com/loadvisitorguide/en-c15110/ |access-date=2022-12-13 |language=en-US}}
File:Fdd3000.jpg Timex FDD or FDD 3000, a Z80-based CP/M-compatible computer. Most people only know it as a floppy disk drive controller but in fact, it is a computer without graphics circuitry. The FDD or FDD 3000 could be used in three different ways:
as a disk drive controller for a TC 2048 or T/S 2068 or ZX Spectrum, running TOS (Timex Operating System)
as a CP/M system, using a TC 2048 or T/S 2068 computer running the Timex Terminal Emulator as a console.
as a CP/M system, using the Timex Terminal 3000, a terminal keyboard, as a console.
