# MicroAce to Discontinue Kits

MicroAce is phasing out its computer kits. According to Bill Clark of MicroAce, Sinclair didn’t renew MicroAce’s license. The company also scrapped plans for a kit using larger ROM. “We can’t compete with the ZX81 in price,” Clark said. Other projects continue, however. MicroAce plans upgrade kits for machines, and video boards are in production.
