Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

Well, I've ordered a ZX8-CCB so we will see how it goes once I have had time to learn to solder to a reasonable level.

Expect an update next year....

Here's one way of connecting the video out from the ZXCCB to the ZX81 - notice I've disconnected the resistor that was connected to the TV output 20161128_165115.jpg And here you can see I've detached the two wires into the modulator. I've looped them back so they are kept in place once the lid is ...

Are they the instructions? Lardo Hi Lardo, yes these are the instructions. I am sorry if this is not sufficient for you but there are only 3 wires to connect (5V, GND, video in) and two wires for the video output. The location is described as text for every input wire and also a picture to show fro...

Maybe post details or a picture (or both) of yours? But before buying another, you need to play with yours. It may be okay for what you want.

Moving slightly away from the pros/cons of the two devices. You say that you have a soldering iron but have never used it :shock: Soldering is both an art and a skill. As with any practical job, the quality of the workmanship depends on both the skill of the engineer and of his/her tools. So, a few...

Thanks all - there is a lot of info there! I do like the look of the chroma interface with the SCART out. I knew they did one for the spectrum but did it know about the ZX81 version. Very portable should it need to be used on a different zeddy. But also very £60! Also a shame I recently got rid of (...

Hi all Not sure if this post belongs here on in the for sale stuff so sorry if I chose the wrong one! Does anyone know who supplies the Dragons Lair SD card for the ZXPand on Sell My Retro, is it someone on here? The listing is closed now and I have messaged the supplier to see if anymore will be ad...

Hello all Apologies if this has been asked before! I have an issue 3 zeddy (red motherboard) in need of a decent video output - it outputs reasonably well to a 'modern' tv but is fuzzy at the top and bottom of the screen. As I understand it there are two major options - the ZX8-CCB and the ZXVid. Wh...
