Re: TS1000 Diagnostic Help

If it acts up again, then maybe put some round pin headers into the socket and put the chip into the round pin headers. It's worth a try.

If they also use phpBB maybe we should upgrade to a newer version without the security flaw.

Re: Is there a way to keep the image stable when loading from tape? AKA where are my loading bars!

PokeMon made af version of his famous ZX8-CCB circuit, that included a microcontroller on the back side. This version generates a constrant sync signal. However PokeMon does not sell this version of the circuit any more.

No. It's your TV that wants to display blue screen instead of the real signal from your computer. On some TVs you can disable this "more knowledgable" feature, as it's quite disturbing with old computers. On newer TVs you cannot disable this "feature".

Re: ZX81 Toddy Forth-79

I'm not sure totally what's wrong, but you cannot have chr$128 and WRX enabled at once. They are 2 different types of hardware, that cannot be enabled at the same time.

Re: 3 Rom Switcher

Re: ZXblast - ZX81 memory extension plus USB

As I understand it: The ROM holds the software that runs on the Z80, which is intercepted when double-shift is pressed on the keyboard. Then there is firmware for the USB-controller. Last there is the configuration of the CPLD, which contains the glue logic that connects everything. (A CPLD is a PCB...
