Z80 @ 3.5Mhz - 64KB ROM - 128KB RAM

Based around the ZX Spectrum +3, the +2A replaced the diskette drive with another cassette drive. The thinking behind releasing a Spectrum +2 look-a-like only 1 year later, was to build the +3 and +2A computers around the same platform. The same ROMs that existed in the +3, now existed in the +2A - and also included all the incompatibility problems too. The ports were also the same as it's sibling, with a standard Amstrad power socket & RGB port that included sound (and also inconsistencies with the +2's monitor port.)

Even though the +3 was the last production Spectrum to be made, the +2A was the last released machine from the Spectrum stables.
