Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

Here's a good one. I'm preparing a zeddy to go into a wooden case, which requires me to extend the ports, etc. to the side of the case. However, in the case of the SD card, I'm having a minor puzzle. The longer of the two extenders works, the shorter one comes up with 9/0 all the time. Tried various...

If no one is offering for UK I'm willing to send there too. No sending to rest of the world.
Prices when I received them.

Anyone know how to make/get the piggyback board please?

When using the Commander program on the ZXpand+ to execute programs, that it uses the JOYCFG.TXT file to program the JOY81 interface before running the program, but does it also use it to program the ZXpand+ joystick interface... or does it do nothing and instead rely on the program being run, to su...

For some reason I'm having a heck of a job trying to find out how to use the joycfg.txt file. I can't even find an example file to examine. Can anyone help me to work out how to create this file and what I should put in it please. I believe it's a single file which should be at the root of the SD ca...
