I've got an update!

I've fitted a composite video mod to the ZX-81 and after some messing with cables and connectors I have the ZX-81 working with a 42 inch LCD TV!

I can't tell you how good it felt to see the inverse K in the corner once again, and do the obligatory 10 Print "" 20 GOTO 10 !

Of course nobody else in the house can quite understand my jubilation.

Anyway, plenty more fun to be had, I will be trying the PC sound output advice from dr beep to see what I can load and run on the little beast while I wait for ZXPand to arrive.

:D

ZX81 is fully restored and working.
ZXPand+ arrived this morning, so I'll get a photo on of the ZX doing something useful!
