Sir Clive Sinclair's Cambridge Computer is working on an IBM PC compatible portable computer. The firm is already in the portable market with the A 4 sized Z88 However, that is not PC compatible -users who wish to transfer work done on the move to their PC must link up using cables. Cambridge itself is not prepared to comment on the matter and is clearly disturbed that the news has leaked out. “Wed prefer to be our own conductor of when announcements of now products are made." said the firm's Paul Streeter “New products are always a delicate matter" He added: “You can rest assured that whatever it is. it will be innovative." Streeter was keen to stress that any new launch would not mean the demise of the Z88. "We're definitely not intending to replace the Z88. People tend to misconstrue these things.” Cambridge is worried that this news will damage sales of the established machine. As yet it is not known when the machine will arrive Industry pundits, though, are suggesting that autumn will see the arrival of Sinclair's PC portable. New Computer Express #12 (01-1989)
