Re: Minstrel ZX80 Clone

I bought a pre assembled version and its nice and well made. I found some graphical glitches when using it in ZX80 8k rom mode, but seems fine in 4k rom mode. Not sure what the issue is, but every other keypress makes the character that the curser sits on look corrupt? Anyway, made a tidy perspex ca...

Football Manager

I cannot believe I've spent most of this easter weekend playing this game!

To be honest though, I know absoloutly nothing about eproms etc. I'm more of a buy it and solder it in kinda guy. I could find the files, but wouldnt have a clu...

zx81 to zx80 conversion?

I read somewhere, not sure where but I read that its possible to convert a ZX81 into a ZX80? I guess a 4k rom would be needed. Is this possible and if so how? Also is a copy of the 4k rom available for sale anywhere?
