Re: ZX81 rebuild

How about testing with a base resistor less than that and adding a variable pot in series. Testing for middle of the road operation then get accurate ohms and then maybe a math. model given the char's of this TR2 and the ZTX313.

Then again maybe I shouldn't be so lazy and do it myself....

Re: TAZMANIAC

I would suggest an internal ZXPand. Sirmorris is able to offer a solution for this. I am so glad sirmorris will change the form and layout to fit a board to my specifications!

Re: ZIF Socket and ZXmore

I bought some (probably not 3m just chinese knockoffs) from Ebay that had rectangular pins and tried twisting to fit in dip socket...but they warped the sleeves where the chip inserts.
