I’ve seen it, and it’s already passed the amount I’m prepared to pay.

BTW, is there an alternative to the zxpand for storage, other than tapes?

The simplest solution is the ZX-Wespi: viewtopic.php?p=39451#p39451

And then there is ZX1541 which requires a Commodore 1541 or similar USB-storage. https://github.com/DL2DW/ZX1541-Interface_in_THT/

I had seen the ZX1541. I guess I would need to emulate the disk drive as getting hold of a 1541 in Greece would not be straight forward.

ZX-wespi I guess it runs at the same speed as tape.

ZX-Wespi load a mini-program, that fast loads a menu. This happens within a few seconds. From the menu you can fast load any program in seconds. Saving however, is tape speed.

You might look for a SD2IEC or a Pi1541, if you don't have a 1541 in your collection.
