The launch of the new Opus disk system (issue 100) could herald a new era for the Sinclair Spectrum. One of its big bonuses is the support being given it by Boots with a selection of software on disk.

The software houses involved include Activision, Romantic Robot, Hewson Consultants, Micro Mega, Melbourne House and Database Publications. The likelihood is that old titles will soon be followed by new ones.

With Boots leading the way, the Discovery 1 may well be able to capture the Spectrum disk drive market which, so far, is still wide open. It costs £200 and you can add a second drive for £140.
