Re: JSZeddy
I wonder if the problem with Android Browser is that the soft keyboard by design does not appear unless focus is set to an input element. In Internet Explorer 8 the error is: Message: Object doesn't support this property or method Line: 18 Char: 2 Code: 0 URI: http://rullf2.xs4all.nl/jszeddy/zeddy.js

Re: American ZX81
My ZX81 purchased in kit form back in the day (1981?) was the same. Channel 2/3 switch included.

Is it a ZX81 emulator that runs in JavaScript?
With Android Browser I see some register boxes flashing, and eventually a K prompt, but there does not appear any way to enter commands.
With IE 8, I see only the register boxes and a script error.

The Goodbye routine uses standard graphics characters placed in REM 8.
I wonder how he originally created this text -- with a special tool, or simply by trial-and-error on a the ZX81 keyboard?
