* From an Amstrad CPC user's point of view, the ZX Spectrum is well known for being the source of [[Speccy Port|Speccy Ports]].
* The Spectrum +2 case design is comparable to the CPC464's case design because of the internal datacorder. The Spectrum +3 design shares some similarities with the CPC6128, the case design is similar with it's internal 3" disc drive, and the disc controller is the same as the CPC6128's. The CPC464 and CPC6128 came before these Spectrum's, so it is clear Amstrad used those as inspirations to update the Spectrum design.
* In France, every machine that didn't provide an RGB output was doomed as TVs were in SECAM, not PAL. Had Sinclair understood the need for an RGB output in France, the ZX Spectrum would have certainly been a success there, just like it did in the UK and Spain. The success of the [[Oric 1/Atmos|Oric]] in France proves it.
