Sprinter (computer)

The Sprinter (also called "Peters Plus Sprinter" or PPS ) is a microcomputer made by Russian Peters Plus, Ltd.; it was the last "clone" of ZX Spectrum produced in a factory. It's built using what the company calls a "Flex architecture". This uses an Altera PLD as part of the core logic, allowing the machine's hardware to be reconfigured on the fly for several ZX-Spectrum models' compatibility or its own enhanced native mode (set by default on boot and running the Estex operating system). This design is comparable to the design of Jeri Ellsworth's C-One reprogrammable computer.
