But now it seems that the Sinclair ZX81 is able to perform with the rest of the big boys, according to the making of this Sinclair based PC. The old machine was taken apart and had an update motherboard installed, along with Linux, 8 Gb SDHC memory card instead of a bulky hard drive. Now this computer from yesteryear has had new life poured into it.
