A new control system for a pizza oven so that you can have hot pizza when you get home?

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

No it's the kludge fix for his UDG board which could only manage to display 127.9342876 out of 128 UDG's. :lol:

LOL i've had a good laugh at some of those suggestions,,, @mark "ah, so you're a waffle man."

@siggi i had a thought that maybe an arduino or perhaps something a little faster pic32 maybe could sit and watch the addrress and data lines purely passively and then output the result on an coloured lcd...

This thread seems like two threads in one given the two different images. An unpopulated board and another one called the "Sincluster ZX81ish" but...

I'Il pick this one

At the risk of sounding stupid (again) this one runs a ROM image from an SDCARD! But only with the approval of the thumbscanning coder in the upper left allows it to boot.

The first ZXPAND?

No the first Xpand was a piece of Vero board stuffed into a Sinclair ram pack casing about a decade ago shame that the pictures are lost though.

Some interesting reading on this,now defunct, Zx81/TS1000 forum that was ran by New Yorker Bill H..

I have given it some thought and it is an internal UDG and ram upgrade probably 32K with 8k in the 8-16k range.

Where is my cookie?

^No NO NO! It's his under-the-hood ULA replacement!
