Ringo R-470 was a Brazilian clone of the Sinclair ZX81byRitas do Brasil Ltda. introduced in 1983.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] It featured a Z80A processor at 3.25 MHz, 8K ROM and 16 KB RAM.[9][10] It wasn't 100% compatible with the ZX81, and some BASIC tokens have alternate codings.[1]

It had a connector port for a 1200 bit/s modem and a joystick, and supported data storage using an external cassette recorder at 300 and 2400 bit/s.

There was an option to display "inverted video" (white background with black characters) by pressing INVERSE VIDEO.[8] The computer also featured separate arrow keys.[8]

The machine had a price of Cr$449,950,[9] higher than competitor computers like the TK85 costing Cr$369,850,[9] and it was not successful.

This computer can be emulated on modern systems under EightyOne Sinclair EmulatororMAME.[11][12]

Keywords and symbols[edit]

BASIC keywords and character mapping are slightly altered on Ringo R-470 compared to the ZX81. Entry is still accomplished per keyword token, obtained using different cursor modes and key combinations, but these are different from the ZX81.
