>MMC or SD interface with a simple way of loading files, preferably FAT32 direct access, not through layers nor snapshot launchers.
------------------
Well, why not. FAT32 would be appreciated and preferable (than FAT16) as ZX81 files are not too big.
However it would be cool if it loads simply P files (the most common, I presume).
I mean - just like divIDE does on Spectrum.
But for now I can use tape-recorder too, hehehe.
>AY Interface
ZON X-81
-----------------
If I remember well, from our another conversation, they were the same....?
At least I had in mind that making AY intercase would be to clone ZONX (if its schemes is available).
Finally we found they aren't. Therefore I think that comebody could try to change Spectrum's interface scheme http://zxm.speccy.cz/dok/sch/melodik.jpg into ZX81's one.
Then I really hope that Gasman could try to make a convertor of AY songs from Spectrum to ZX81 (even without interrupts).
>Joystick interface
Alternate keyboard including enclosure to place ZX81 inside. Room for internal interfaces while leaving the original backplane free.
-------------
I was wondering. Changing games' code to rewrite their key-set for such a joystick port might be difficult.
I suspect that this problem could be solved by... the alternate keyboard exactly.
At last, most people play games with their PC keyboard. So what's the different? And we would still save the original beautiful and fine ZX81's keyboard, by playing games on the additional one.
>Keyboard to place on top of the ZX81 keys, for those who want to keep the original keyboard but want to have something to make it more easy to type-on. Any ideas Rich?
--------------
Jee, THAT would be tricky.
But great.
Well, maybe such an addition like on my avatar?
Greetzzzzzzz!
