Well, I went along and after spending a lot of time around the arcade machines (Manic Miner ported to PacMan hardware was quite something!) I went in search of the 8-bits.
There were a good few Speccys on display, 4 linked via network cards but they were running Chuckie Egg rather than the multiplayer Tank game detailed on the stall. There were also some nice SD card adapters which plug into the Z80 socket, complete with firmware to patch the Load and Saves.
Finally at the end of a row of old consoles and computers I spotted the ZX81
It was running Manic Miner when I saw it, along with an info sheet detailing the ZXPand. There was also another ZX81 with Memotech 16k sitting beside it but not plugged in.
There was nobody on it whilst I passed but it was nice to have some representation at such a big show![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
