Indeed it was slow, I think due to a 2.5 Mhz CPU instead of the standard 3.5 Mhz for HC-85. I owned one and was driving me mad for not being able to load the "nonstandard" games. How can I define them? When loading BASIC programs, the screen flickers in a specific way - it loaded such programs. More recent games however, used their own loading routine, which flicked the screen "differently". They were probably heavier on the CPU, ''coze they didn''t load on JET.

Finally I gave up, sold it, added some difference and bought a HC. What a difference!

I own one of these and I can say I$m very nostalgic when thinking of it, but it was rubbish. It$s processing speed was the slowest of them all (HC / TIM-S / CIP) and I know the technical specification of mine said 250 000 hz Cpu speed. At 4Mhz I had a PC286.. I think the specs displayed here are a little optimistic.

Dind''t knwow that "Electromagnetica" assambled computers too!

I remember seeing this JET computer on store shelves back in 1990 as a novelty. At 11.500 lei it was expensive (a similar machine, HC-90, had a price of 10.000 lei that year). It was featured as a "TV games machine", but it was a full-fledged Sinclair Spectrum clone.

I did not own one (being too expensive), but I used a TIM-S, a HC-85, a HC-90 and a HC-91.
