JOYSTICK on ZX81????

[sirmorris]

Hi Xav

There's some great stuff on your(?) site. I have a lot of trouble navigating it though - I ought to learn better French

I like the look of these keyboards. I will definately be getting a replacement membrane or two but I would also really like to have an expansion port add-on like the memotech units.

Could anyone produce a memotech work-alike? Even just the schematic would be great. Perhaps we could even do a small production run?

I have a number of sinclair machines and It would be worth my while to have 1 keyboard that I could use with them all, otherwise I'll be replacing 8 membranes...

Thoughts?

I believe Wilf has at least two projects that would suit you

I hope to find such card too.
A FEh card to extend my Zx81.

You can unplug the keyboad without unscrew your Zx...

seem great...
But, you had to twick the ROM or use a software driver !

No you don't... just plug it into the expansion port and start typing.

Hi Mike,

Are your sure?

The No$cash transfert using a special bios ROM on the keyboard stuff for files transferts!
the low speed transfert use the sound ouput... and the Centronic PC port.

Sorry again ( Fr page ).

you might need special code for ZX-PC transfer, but the keyboard itself will just work...
