So tommorrow you can expect it here for download.

Looks very nice and it seems you followed my instructions very well which advise to make some break during construction for a cup of tea or coffee. :lol:

You can tell this isn't real Sinclair tech. If it was, it'd take six months to arrive, half the chips would be repurposed rejects, and there'd be an extra ROM bodged into the back on a dongle :)

Agreed Karl's products are superb quality. I find his tiny composite boards a godsend rather than scrabbling around e bay for replacement ULA's. :D
