Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

I'm preparing to start testing my TS1000 with the Larken controller connected to a 1.4MB drive. Will it be possible to format and use the entire space... there are no directories as I understand it? if I also connect a 360K drive will I be able to copy from one to the other? Gus can you post the uti...

I have two of the TS1000 types somewhere in the garage! Will they work with 3.5" disks? I have some old 5.25" disk drives somewhere... probably also in the garage.

I was wondering can I use this to display some non-standard characters- like music notes or graphics for a ZX-81 MIDI app I'm working on?
I guess I'll need to become one with the code....

OK I downloaded the files and I hope to try them soon on my souped up zx-81!

I think I could use this for some pseudo-gui app I'm writing to use in the electronics lab!

I would definitely order 2 or 3 units of the SD interface card. My soldering iron is always on standby! If I may suggest moving the LEDs to the top RHS and including a power LED. That way they will be visible when the card is in place. BTW in the late 80's I designed a MIDI interface for the ZX-81. ...
