Looks like it had a hard life before being fitted!

A very nice indeed issue one with a seemingly working 32K MEMOPAK (boots to K after a suitable delay).

That looks like it’s a ceramic DIL/DIP SRAM chip. For some reason, they often look less good compared to plastic DIL/DIP chips.

A ceramic chip feels colder to the touch compared to a plastic chip (obviously this is with the board at room temperature and not having been powered up recently). Also you can see different colours on the sides where the legs enter the body.

So on this Zeddy, are you going to remove LK1 and fit LK2 to see if you get 2048 wonderful bytes?

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

Not really got time to experiment to be honest!

It is now included here : https://sinclairzxworld.com/viewtopic.p ... 891#p48891 if anyone wants to give it a try!

A nice bunch of zeddy with another FileSixty! The zeddy, RAM pack and PSU work not sure about the tapes.

I also have no idea if the microphone is related?


Possibly part of this?

A nice boxed working issue three:

Shame there is so much clumsy sellotape removal damage as otherwise the box is really good but hey ho.

A reasonable condition case, working apart from the keyboard, issue one:

A poorly kludge fix zeddy (not got a picture yet but it is trying!), working RAM pack and ZXPand!

And more importantly (for me at least…)

An interesting SD card!
