ZX81 Manual download ?

Post by speedy »

Hello to all,
I have had a problem after downloading the ZX81 instruction manual, in that, it has downloaded o,k but the pictures and diagrams will not display.
All I get is a small square at the top left corner which will not open up.
Can anyone help please?

Speedy :?

Yes please give more information. A link to the source would be good start. There are PDF versions and HTML versions in the net. What operating system do you try reading on? Which program do you try. Which version?
Lately I have big problems displaying PDF files on a win7 64bit. Most online available data sheets show problems. With both acrobat reader and with foxit reader at work.
On my home computers running OSX the preview displays them fine. I do a print to PDF and get a version that displays ok on win7 too.
My zx81 has some problems displaying HTML :mrgreen:
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

That's why I mentioned it. Not all pictures are displayed :lol: as usual.

First, thankyou for all the replies.
Well the version I downloaded was the 768kb one from www.zx81Kit.com, but I usually don't have any problems opening pdf files.
This is the immediate version which comes up when you bring up" ZX81 Manual" from the internet.

Regards,
Speedy.
