Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

I have 30-odd of these connectors that are functionally identical to the ones used on the Zxpand boards, the only difference being pin length (mine are a tad longer @15mm) and number of contacts (mine have 100 per). These were a custom production order item with a 50-piece minimum @ $4.00 each. If a...

I still have a few stickers for the 3K memory pack.

I have recently listed on SellMyRetro my ZX80 clone kit that is untouched and still in as-bought state. It does not include the power adapter nor the case for it, just the board and all components.

When I went to the Commodore 64 it became a monthly routine to pop the case and re-seat all the chips as they would gradually "walk" themselves out of their sockets. Although the "old" ULA seemed to be firmly in its socket, I may just have to take a shot at giving it another try. As always, thanks f...

By "lifeless" I meant that "No Signal" was displayed on the monitor. Sorry for the lack of clarity. The ULA and and Z80 are socketed. I gave each a good push into the socket and they seemed fine. After my posting I realized I had two spare ULAs to try, one a reclaim and the other from Andy. I pulled...

Voltage from the power supply is good, and got 4.7 and 9 volts when checked at the Traco. and connection is good to the ZX8-CCB. It had previously been fitt...

Just a heads-up for everyone that Sirmorris has just re-listed a quantity of 50 Zxpand+ boards available on the SMR site.

I have decided to part with the untouched ZX80 replica kit I purchased last year from Oricfan on Ebay. It is in as-received condition.

Price is $125 USD plus shipping. Does not include case or power supply.

Yes, the printer I recently purchased came from there. Some evil unseen force coerced me into opening it up to have a look-see at the belt Ian is using. This, of course, voided the warranty, but all in the name of science, right? Dimensionally they are for all practical purposes identical. I don't k...
