Re: ZX81 Keyboard

Diode D1 and it’s connections. Also test between it’s cathode (the end with the stripe) and Z80A pin 1. And between it’s anode and the relevant pin of the eight pin keyboard ribbon connector.

ZX81 Keyboard

HI all - I have a perplexing issue, at least to me. I have a ZX81 where the keys 1 - 5 are not working. I pulled it apart, trimmed the membrane etc and they still don't work. If I use my multimeter I can tell that they are working though. With cover off and no power I touch the row and column solder...

Re: A new ZX81 Emulator

Ok so I have the keyboard working great as long as I wait for a key on the Adam. I am not sure what col / row I should return if no key is pressed. I see it starts out with H = FFh and L = FFh and I tried to return that is there is no key press but the ZX81 doesn't like it. Any tips on this? Edit: I...

Can be fixed with a scan and RST. 3) My games with "hidden" data on screen, can be emulated with cor...
