Re: Cursor off-screen
The cursor is not likely to be off-screen, more likely is that the video contrast (voltage) is wrong. Hence the K cursor may be there, just not visible. If the picture size was incorrect, I would expect a rolling image, due to incorrect sync. Keep in mind that the transistor type composite modificat...

Re: how to verify if a multiface 1 is working ??
Ahh, I was going to reply the other day, must have forgotten
As the Opus also uses it's own ROM, has the previous owner fitted or modified the MF1 board with a switch or some other method to disable/prevent it's ROM and RAM from being paged in?

As Moggy says, a PM/DM will sit in your outbox until the recipient reads it. Only then will it move to your sent box.

Re: Forcing an NMI or locking the keyboard via poke command
You can't force a NMI. A NMI is a non-maskable interrupt which is a hardware signal. Machine code can jump to the address where the NMI routine is, but it's not quite the same. Machine code can HALT the processor, just execute the HALT instruction. But this will not do what you want on a ZX81. I pre...

Re: opus discovery questions
can a " twisted " cable solve this ? Not with a twisted cable designed for PCs, as it will also twist the motor on line, but the Opus only has a single (common to all drives) motor on signal, as it uses a Shugart interface. Shugart interface Floppy Drive Interface Pin Function 2 /DCD Disk Change De...

Re: ZX Spectrum +2a issue with all expansion cards
With your Kempston joystick interface fitted, test the signals I mentioned in my earlier post to see if any are flatlining or otherwise wrong. So, test these pins on the Z80: Pin Signal 6 Clock 7 D4 8 D3 9 D5 10 D6 12 D2 13 D7 14 D0 15 D1 17 /NMI (should be always high) 18 /HALT (should normally be ...
