Post by 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:

http://www.reghardware.com/2011/03/04/s ... niversary/

And have posted it here ;) and in the German ZX81 Forum
http://forum.tlienhard.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=2

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

Ha Ha what a great topic....

i'm taking a break from programming.... Well not really a break just a change of destination device.... but still Zeddy related :)

ULA replacement Version 2.... down to 7 chips (from 22 in my first design) using 4 x Gal16v8 and 2 x Gal20v8 and 1 x 74ls374.

still in the design stage.

Happy Birthday ZX81 :D


Regards Andy

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:

http://www.free-press-release.com/news- ... 58788.html

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 :D

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

SPECTRUM! :lol:

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