Andy
I would be interested, too.
Hi,
I may have PCB sell on SellMyRetro soon.
You can download project file from here (include Altium PCB file)

However, it should have either a green or a red solder resist on the bottom :mrgreen:

Good idea :)

Thanks for sharing the data.
I would appreciate to buy a pcb on SMR as soon as available. 8-)

My ZX Max48 issue 1

I am trying to use the ZX81 keyboard with ZX Max but, some changes are needed to KBD lines assignments in the CPLD.

BTW there is also newer Issue 2 in the wild. Iss2 does have additionally the AY chip and Kempston joystick interface.

Sorted! Now ZXmax can work with any ZX81 keyboard :geek:

I think the order of some address lines is different for ZX81 and ZX spectrum keyboard. Would you be so nice and publish your changes ? Would be great.

Thanks, Karl

Hi I think that's interesting a spectrum in a zx81 case. How far has the project got?
Are you going to sell this product if so do you have a price in mind.
I'd like one when they are available. thanks

Karl,

Yes, sure. My modifications to the Issue 1 board are as follows:

I spoke with Suprefo and we agreed that it would be a clean solution if minor changes to the CPLD file were done. The keyboard data lines been remapped to match ZX81 layout (KBD0 and KBD1 were swapped with KBD4 and KBD3 respectively). Additionally two diodes (D5 & D6) on address lines (A12 & A9) were crossed on the board. And that is all.

There is also high probability of frying transistor Q2 (BC548) while using 8 Ohms beeper, so I would recommend adding 33R resistor in series with LS1.
