Hello from France II
Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2023 12:19 am
Hello everyone,
Like Yannick, I am from France, I was born in 1970 and I started quite early playing with a TI99/4A, my aunt's actually.
I could save enough money at the time to buy in 1982 a ZX81 ... I wanted a Memotech MTX512, but not affordable enough
and very complicated to buy in France at the time.
I ended up buying a 32KB Memotech expansion module and I learned how to write code in BASIC to start with and then
Assembly language when reaching 13yo.
I keep some of the story for later ... let's just say that I own many computers from those years by collecting and restoring them.
TRS-80 Model III, ZX81 (3x), ZX Spectrum 48KB, Oric Atmos, Alice ( french TRS-80 MC-10 ), Apple IIe, and others more recent.
I recently found out about the ZX81+38 project by Mahjongg, and I just finished building the motherboard of a revision 1.9 and it works.
I'm joining this forum to share this passion of the ZXs and maybe help others ...
<3
