Re: 16K RAM Pack Schematic / Chip Layout

Nice work, just be careful not to flex that wire bridge too much, they are quite easy to break, you better treat them with same care as the keyboard flex cable..... I had some luck a few weeks back with a pack that had a faulty transistor, so I would check that first. If you exchange RAM chips and d...

Re: Spectrum + Assessment ? NEW

5% based on $2000 sale price is really much. In Germany transaction fees on eBay are based on the value / final price. I think for expensive items it is about 3% maximum. But now I took a look and it has increased significantly to 9% ! :o Okay they have a maximum of 75 EUR resp. 50 USD but it is re...

Re: Spectrum + Assessment ? NEW

If Paypal take high fees (they do !) and if they want to protect buyers they sould pay these bills on their own. Agreed, the fees are really high. I sold something not that long ago for about $2,000 that was paid through paypal, I later found a $100 ebay fee AND a $100 paypal fee or thereabouts!! T...

Re: ZX81CCP

Maybe you overread this - I am not working on a redesign of a ZX81, it is for the ZX80 which doesn't have an NMI generator. By the way, I do add on's very moderate.

Re: ZX81CCP

How much would such an interface cost? Michel Thanks for your thoughts. I can not say how much such an interface would cost exactly, my idea is not more than maybe 20 or max 30 EUR. Something like that. It's my summer project with no stress at all. In the moment I work an the ZX81XRAM (finished tod...

Re: Simple Video Mod for 210ULA

Correction to an earlier post where I said that the modulators RF out is coupled through a small value capacitor and was possible to feed composite out without removing/disconnecting the modulators innards ... not quite so - I was going on information from another source - not tried by myself until...
