ZXpand+ Firmware

Post by manic23 »

Can I please ask if 1.12 is still the latest firmware for the ZXpand+

The firmware page here https://www.sinclairzxworld.com/viewtop ... =13&t=2430 states that it is but on the github here https://github.com/charlierobson/ZXpand ... r/firmware there seems to be a newer version (5 years old) but it does not state the version number.

I am a little confused,

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

The "TOMTE" firmware added in 2020 is the latest and can be found here...

https://github.com/charlierobson/ZXpand-Vitamins


Prior to that 1.13 was the most up to date and at boot up would show... ZXPAND 1.13 "MOGGY"

The TOMTE firmware shows... ZXPAND+ TOMTE

The 5 years ago date I can only assume applies to when the firmware folder was created for older firmware as TOMTE was a 2020 issue.

Thanks Moggy, I didn't know about the 1.13 firmware, I always used to check that first link for firmware updates but that link never showed up the 1.13 version. What is TOMTE?

No Idea what TOMTE actually stands for only that it improves serial communication functions somehow, other than that I don't know what else if anything it brings to the party that's not there already.
