Re: ZX81 : unhappy with new keyboard
I must admit that if you want to type on the ZX81 keyboard the ZX8-KDLX is a great improvement :) It would have been ideal when I started out with the ZX81 - I ended up putting mine in a dk'Tronics case which was even higher and not quite the best thing to teach myself how to touch type... That said...

Re: ZX81 : unhappy with new keyboard
I assume this is the "PureRetro" ZX81 membrane - has he fixed the printing issue on the chequerboard pattern for the F key which is obvious in the photos on ebay? I attach some photos of my own ZX81 which has the ZXpand version of the keyboard fitted - the current ZX81 membranes are slightly thinner...

Re: SD card reader for ZX81
It is now the "ZXpand+" interface - these are made in very small batches by the designer at present and sold through sellmyretro.com - they can sell within minutes unfortunately!

Re: [RetroPrinter] PrinterToPDF... on my ZX81.
Yes the C16 font is 8 x 16. It was just a free font we found which was a good fit for an Epson font. For the Retro-Printer I have been developing my own fonts, but this is a time consuming process and I am not about to give them away for free. The idea of PrinterToPDF is that others can contribute t...

As for compiled versions of that - no, there are no Windows versions - feel free to make one if you like - Windows has not been a target market for me, because there are already several printer capture programs which run under WIndows (such a...

Re: ZX80 trouble shooting
As for the RWAP EPROM I'm not sure if the one he sells now is just a standard ZX80 coded one or the one initially sold with the ZX80 ZXpand kit consisting of spand, extension cable and EPROM containing the extra routines for the spand. The EL-2364 EEPROM I supply as a replacement is blank - we (wel...
