The ZX-81 was released in the US as the Timex-Sinclair 1000, and the 2068 was indeed based on the Spectrum. At the time, many home computers used TV's as the display and cassette's for mass storage. Afterall, who but a serious user wanted to hand over the $400+ for a floppy drive? Typically, that wasn't the type that bought the ZX-81. The ZX-81/T/S-1000 was priced at about $99.
