Timex Computer 2048
The Timex Computer 2048 is an odd one, it is not a Timex design, but rather a ZX Spectrum clone, produced in Portugal in 1984. There are a few differences with the Spectrum, notable is the simulation of an 80 column text mode, and the keyboard is better than the rubber Spectrum keys
The computer was not sold outside of Portugal and Poland. Intially the intent was for the TC2048 to be released in the USA, but technical difficulties slowed down production and consumer confidence in the machine.
The 2048 lacks the Sinclair name, and is called Timex Computer 2048, where-as the other successor to the ZX81 is called the Timex Sinclair 2068
