alt Hacker NewsIt's a good thing that the FCC clamped down on RF emissions. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to run computers near each other. A TRS-80 and a Milton Bradley Big Trak (a programmable toy tank) would, if near each other, both crash from RF interference.
RFI incompatibility is almost forgotten as a problem now. That did not happen by accident.

Didn't they put a metal can around the pcb, like they did with the c64 and nes? FWIW, I don't remember them putting one on the zx spectrum either...
Edit: yes I know some c64s had a partial paper shield instead ;)
