Re: GALs, guys?

What kind of equipment do you need to program these things?
are they easy to program? Do they have there own language?

As you can probably tell i never used these before, are there any good webpages about the basics ect.

Re: DIY 32k ram - external

i'm Still scratching my head wondering why the full 32K is 16K-32K and 48k-64K instead of 16K-48K surely that would make more sense ? As for making this external, i don't see anything particually hard, you would have course have to add a little more decoding for the /RAMCS and also to disable the in...

Re: EightyOne 1.0

Firstly A big thanks to Mike for EightyOne, it's a great emulator tha i almost always use for ZX81 tasks, I'm working with - or should that be pestering ;) - Mike with the aim of improving EO's debugging facilities. I'm hoping to implement some or all of the following: memory display with changed by...

Re: Very simple IO board

more chips equals more functionallity, it's a more elegant decoding scheme for sure. Nice one Sir Morris.
