Thanks.. is there a mode where it maps to keys? If so, then the current routine would still work. Just move the joystick instead of keys (at least that's how I wired my joystick port in 1984 lol). I'd love to get a ZXpand.. any word if they'll ever be made again?
Only if your code uses the ROM routine to read the keyboard, like BASIC does with INKEY$...
If/when they get made depends on if/when the designer decides to make more...
ZXpand+ FAQ
What is a ZXpand+ ?
The ZXpand+ is an SD card interface with 32K RAM and built in AY sound chip for the Sinclair ZX80 and ZX81.
I would like to purchase a ZXpand+, when and where are they available to buy from?
They are listed on Sell My Retro (
https://www.sellmyretro.com) as and when the designer (SirMorris) has made some for sale. Your best bet is to add a keyword watch in your profile for ZXPand, so that you receive an email as soon as some are listed for sale by SirMorris.
Is there any other source for either a ZXpand, ZXpand+, or Zxpand+AY?
Unfortunately, no. And it’s very rare for one to be offered for sale second hand either....
You will just have to wait until SirMorris lists some more for sale.
