30th Anniversary

[RWAP]

5th March 2011 - the 30th Anniversary of the ZX81's launch.

What will you be doing and how will you mark this event?

Game of Boulder Logic anyone?

I will be trying to fix some ZX81s. It would be nice to increase the gene pool today

I've found this link in newsgroup comp.sys.sinclair:

And have posted it here and in the German ZX81 Forum

Please don't forget: in six weeks 15th ZX-TEAM-meeting will take place.

Happy Birthday ZX81!

I got my first just this week. Needs some work, but I'll check out Boulder Logic on an emulator to celebrate!

I have published my own little tribute to the ZX81 at:

Even better and with a little bit of cajoling of SirMorris, the draft manual for ZXpand (as a Word document) and its details now appear on my website:

http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/zx812.html

We welcome comments on the manual

"..The manual has been written specifically for users of the ZXpand Expansion Interface for the Sinclair ZX81 Spectrum."

SPECTRUM!

Otherwise a superb read, well laid out and everything covered.
Great effort guys.
