ZX81 utilty Home-Pac

Post by stainy »

Hi guys...

Just registered...
I`ve been give a couple pieces of software, one for 16k Speccy and one for the ZX81

Home-Pac by Simplex Software

20 programs on two cassettes, with manual..
Just wondering if this is needed by anyone? I mean, I`m an active contributer to WOS and EAB ( Amiga forum ) scans, dumps and such..
Just wondered if such a setup is there for the ZX81?
I can`t find anything on this piece of software. It says on the front it`s for the Timex-Sinclair 1000 & 1500 also ZX81 - 16k required!
Guessing it`s American..

Of any use?

Hi and welcome aboard :)

There isn't much of a preservation scene for the '81, unlike for the spectrum - which is a shame, but Simon Holdsworth does a pretty good job of making up for the laziness of the rest of us :lol:

This sounds to be worth preserving - a real left-field title that no-one has really heard of. I'll be happy to help with pointers to conversion software etc, or even having a go myself if you could supply a WAV of the data perhaps.

Regards

Charlie

Welcome stainy!

Yes, preserving it sounds like a grand idea :D

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer later in the year.
