Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

I have however had trouble that the area shifts from RAM to ROM automatically. Sometimes I have to set it for RAM, and try again. If it fails the set to RAM again and try again. Sometimes even if the configuration screen lists this area as RAM, I change it to ROM and back to RAM, to be sure it is se...

I have had problems with the 8-16k area as well. I seem to remember PokeMon has mentioned this in the German forum (maybe in a private post). It has been many months since the last firmware due to PokeMon having his hands full in his job. I have not have any luck loading data to RAM in this area, du...

Damn it! :lol: I missed this one :( Andy: could you do me favour and scan in hi-res both sides of the unsoldered PCB, please? I would like that as well for debugging purposes on my broken ZX81. Hm.. maybe I could use these pictures. (But we can never get enough.) :) http://k1.spdns.de/Vintage/Sincl...

The Chroma Interface is your friend, if you will not open up your Sinclair. It's an external interface with a scart-connnection for your tv.

That would be 7400-chips. It's a proof og concept to connect to other hardware. Let's see what time will bring.

Back on topic. Would this schematic have cassette output?
