Amazing find for the #zxspectrum community. Design documents for the ULAs of several Sinclair products have been found and archived. As well as schematics for some Spectrum models and more technical documentation and communication:

EDIT: Would be nice if someone mirrored this on archive.org or somewhere other than Google Drive. :)
Oh, and I should have mentioned that it seems it was found by Frank Zappa's son. Just kidding, but the beard makes a resemblance...
@root42 Maybe @bitsavers ?
URL? I have no interest in wasting my time on the video
Also, I really don't archive consumer computers, and don't want to get into a pissing contest over hosting british consumer content, Acorn, for example, since that community is full of hoarders.
I have my hands full with the half a terabyte of scans in my backlog and am very selective of what comes from others, as I say on the main page.
Those are my rules.. You can always dump them onto Brewster's Big Bitpile (good luck FINDING anything there though)
@bitsavers The google doc is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_6S9HtXdFBRyo7NQ52pcOQgZlP1N_M-T/edit?gid=2081835427#gid=2081835427
It contains links to all the PDFs.
I personally have no interest in Sinclair's, but love that schematics and other documents are available for a lot of micros. And sure, it might be out of scope for you. But anyone could put it on archive or whatever...
@root42 I asked him if he has plans to do that in the youtube comments but my comment is not visible for the second time. It included archive.org, so I started to wonder if Google is censoring it...
@root42 a third try with spaces around the letters of archive.org was removed seconds after I posted and even a message with a tip doesn't survive. I managed to take a screenshot, thought and I hop he gets the money. Google is getting worse with every day...
@old_Taki Posting links to youtube is basically impossible.
@root42 I hope the owner will donate the archive to a museum. I appreciate HLD has scanned and catalogues it, but the originals really ought to be with with true historians.
@bread80 Would be desirable. But it's up to whoever bought those documents... Who knows what other treasures are hidden in someone's basement...
