Hi Everyone,
I picked up a ZX-81 a few days back, had been after one for a while but wasn't willing to pay some of those ridiculous eBay prices. I have a Spectrum (and a fair bit of Commodore stuff), so this should complement it nicely!

Re: New to the ZX-81
Get an MP3 player, download some ZX81 software and see what this little machine can do. They are a lot of fun and can do more than you might expect.
Re: New to the ZX-81
Can also be loaded by playing WAV on PC with soundcable into ZX81.

Hi ClarkWGriswold,
Well done with the purchase and I hope you will enjoy this black aerodynamic door stopper
For loading p. files into your Zeddy, get the TZXduino, it works like a charm.

Re: New to the ZX-81
You can also build a TZXduino yourself. I use an Arduino with a SD/ethernet shield, and I've created my own custom button/ear shield, and my own custom 7-segment shield to display first characters of the filename.
It's not a beauty, but it works.
(I use it for my Lambda 8300, since my ZX81 has a ZXpand.)

There are four lights!
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
