The zeddy bus arrived today! All three boot and two have working keyboards. Anyone want to guess which one doesn’t work?…

The bottom one?

Correct!

Turns out the keyboard was not even plugged into the motherboard. Not going to help!

Was it just unplugged, or was it broken?

Not plugged in. It looks like it may be ok but not tried it yet.

Two zeddies, both switch on, two Memopaks, one might work but the connector is a bit smashed, the other does work and some other bits.

Is it possible / realistic to replace the connector on a Memopak? It has total broken!

The case itself will be pretty good once cleaned up. Might end up as a Spand case…

One is an issue three with Zilog Z80 and EPROM.

The issue one. Worst keyboard ribbon I have ever seen! I think I can see why it was not working.

Another Zilog which is nice.
