It starts on my Mac Mini M1, but then it hangs and gets stuck If I try to 'load' a program.

Thanks for the reply!

What is considered the best ZX81 emulator for Macs that works with M1 CPUs?

Yes, external screen.

Couldn't you just get a VGA to whatever adapter? You'd get HDMI...etc..

I have not yet tried it out, but the following site has software you can download to your PC and use this as a gateway to a monitor.

Can it be any 9V DC or do I have to get the ZX81 PSU?
Thanks.

Happy Birthday!!!

I just found out something strange. If I move the PSU cable, the 81 comes back on, but a small movement of the cable, and it dies again. That means it's the PSU?
Should I try to make a new cable for the PSU or just try to buy another one?
