ZX81 wikipedia: errors?

Post by dr beep »

Isn't it our duty to report errors?

I.e. In the article it states that a full screen is 768 bytes, but you need another 25 bytes for the linefeeds.

..they've also got it wrong about the memory pack...saying that early versions were 15K using an 'assortment' of RAM chips, and that later versions had 16k but the first 1k was disabled... WRONG!!! (as far as I know..??!) all the RAMpacks I've come across, not just sinclair but ones such as Cheetah, Memotech,Viscount(Rebranded Cheetah),etc all completely disable the internal 1 or 2k and page in their FULL 16k!
