Is there a ZX80 BASIC ROM for the ZX Spectrum 48k?

Post by 2late »

Is there a ROM which enables the Spectrum to run ZX80 BASIC programs, whether it be an interpreter or a compiler? I'm searching for something like this viewtopic.php?f=5&t=465 , but the other way round. Especially I'm hoping that this might enhance the speed, of programs, if you only need integer calculation.

Yes, if you have the appropriate hardware...

See the www.fruitcake.plus.com website.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

Thanks a lot for the link.
It seems that I'll have to try it on an emulator first.
