Re: New ZX80 boards
Knew of the ax81, tried to contact the creator a year or so ago without success; I've a request of him. Would his direct driving of a 320x240 LCD display be useful for hires? Alas I can't read CZ, nor German; and some of the sites just won't work with the online translators. Martin's site translates...

Re: New ZX80 boards
Wow, Paul, many thanks for the prompt reply. Awe shoot, guess my memory failed me - I thought they all worked. I am actually a proud owner of one of Martin's boards as well - beautiful wee beasties! I'm also a new owner of an issue 3 UK ZX80! I'd love to get my hands on a ZX81 board based on the ZX8...

Re: New ZX80 boards
What happened with these boards?
At one point I had actually prepaid for a board for my son and I to assemble as a summer project, but was asked by Lee if it was OK to send it to Germany instead - we capitulated, but I regret that decision now, as all the boards appear to have worked.

Re: ZX81 on the AVR
I've been lurking on Jörg's site since his AVR-ChipBasic8 days. Tried sending him a few email but got no replies. I'm pretty certain he's German as that's what Google's translate tells me. He does sell the boards and kits but I'm unable to translate enough of his seller's website to be able to figur...

Re: New ZX80 boards
Yeah, Grant Searle made that PDF of the issue 2 ZX80 motherboard a year, or so, ago.

Re: New ZX80 boards
Apologies Paul, I was being flippant, I'm very pleased with Lee's board design and hope to be privilaged to get a copy of V2 in my own hands.

Re: New ZX80 boards
I can't justify the cost of an "authentic" membrane; especially without an "authentic" case to go with it. I'm interested in Lee's Legacy ZX80 board, as is. However if things are changing, I would love to see composite video out, and an easy way to remove the keyboard section. Or perhaps a more "fun...

Re: New ZX80 boards
I did, < £10 from a US supplier to Canada; if I can't get a good deal from my local guys at Solarbotics.
Besides, I have an old IBM keyboard with individual keys that I'd prefer to repurpose.

Re: New ZX80 boards
Unfortunately a price of £25 for the membrane is too expensive to make it a consideration for me.
