Re: ZXpand, there's any chance?

The ZXpand+ replaced the original ZXpand. It is made in small batches every now and then by SirMorris when he gets chance, but they can sell out within minutes! Best bet is to go to the closed listing on sellmyretro and then click on "Notify when Back in Stock" so that you get an email as soon as so...

Re: BASICare microsystem

Rich, Would mind if I upload these to archive.org? I've been putting everything I can get my hands on up there (see my signature). Even though I have a site about Sinclair and Timex in the context of the US, I don't expect my site will be up forever, so I'll even archive it in full at some point. T...

Re: ZX Fail

I had this before and the problem is that when you press the enter key, it causes a short somewhere, or twists the heatsink against the 5V regulator. I resolved it by putting a small pad of felt (or a spare rubber key) on top of both the TV modulator and the heatsink

Re: Missing in action

I have sent Sebastian an email - I hope he is keeping OK. Unfortunately, this Covoid-19 situation has severely impacted postal systems and customs offices. I seem to get buyers asking every day where their orders are (makes me cringe when they have paid £4 postage for an item to go to the USA and wa...

Re: ZXSimulator for the Sinclair QL

Welcome to the forums - great to see a new ZX81 emulator for the QL - there is an existing one, but whilst the Spectrum emulators have had several versions and improvements, there has only ever been Xtricator (http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/zx81/index.html).
