There is a little power button next to the 'About' button which effectively does this.

Re: A small amount of free stuff

How about the monitor cables to 1024MAK and the interface (and printer cable) to RWAP? Seems fairest given interest by both.

A small amount of free stuff

Hi all Thanks to eBay loft finds etc. I have some unwanted ZX81 / possibly Spectrum stuff. To be honest I'm not 100% sure what it all is! I certainly cannot test it so rather than try and dump it on eBay it is free to a good home (well, cost of p&p aside). We have what looks like a printer interface...

Re: ZX81 emulator for iOS

Actually how about the ability to save programs you type in? I'm not sure if there is a limit on the size of local storage data but ZX81 progs are not that large. Also you could save data in SQLite, one file per record in a fairly simple table. We use SQLite extensively at work in our iOS app. It's ...

Re: ZX81 emulator for iOS

Hi all, Apple approved my ZX81 emulator for iOS today: http://zx81-ios.weebly.com Consider it just the first step of an app that I hope to extend with more functionality, software titles and eventually an interview section. Currently I'm working on a more game friendly version of the virtual keyboa...

Re: "Different" ZX81's

Nothing weird about collecting the 'edge cases'. Unfortunately I don't know what's normal to know what's weird if you know what I mean?

If you post pictures of standard boards of each issue I can compare mine and and any more I see.

Re: Which emulator and assembler for the Mac?

It can be downloaded here I'm afraid the posts are in German but translation apps will help in case you are not familiar with German language. Thanks Paul. I speak English, various dialects of BASIC and C, BCPL, 6502, a little bit of Forth, JavaScript, HTML, XSLT and TSQL but no German! Ironically ...

Re: Which emulator and assembler for the Mac?

I recommend ZEsarUX which runs natively on Windows, Linux and Mac AND supports ZXPAND. Also I recommend Pokemons Zeddy IDE as a develpment base which runs fine under wine(bottler) This book Mastering Machine Code on Your ZX81 might be of use as well. Kind regards Paul Thanks Paul. Any idea where I ...

Any recommendations for Z80 programming books for the zeddy also appreciated. Oridinarily I would write software on the comp...
