Zx Spectrum 128k +2 ROM memory

[elmanoduarte]

Hi all,

I had a ZX Spectrum 128K+2 (greay version) Almost 40 y AGO.
I was an enthusiastic young Boy Who Spended Hours,,days, ,,weeks,,, straight ahead. Programming BASIC. Reading books from Local Library, and Geting the BIG World (in that time) from a Color personal Computer.
In that time in my island it happened a lot Energy power fails!!! And has you may know very well,,,when powers OFF,, all the WORK,,,just... GONE!!!!
Soo, I made an DIY UPS my self. With a "rele" and a 9v battery and a Box for it with a switch,, When the power was down,, it could get energy from my "UPS friend" for about 30 minuts, just for the ZX!
And when the power Line comes There was my JOB. Because the fails, normaly was not more than 10 minuts, sometimes ,,mutch Less.
So 1 day,,, a bad day... my little brother made a rupture,,in the power suplly wire,, and the wire + touched in the -,,, PLUFFFF,, short circuit!!!
After this the ZX never powered ON again, and not just the fact I was in very small island, was even aknowlage to repair a ZX was just for GOD´s.
Now like I started, I have NOW again another Exacly Like the I had an ZX Spectrum 128K+2 (greay version)... like the one I had.
So, I asky you all, if there is any way or an adapter, we can use in this model to SAVE and LOAD From some ROM flash,,or something I could use without bieng the K7.

Regards for all...

Others might have better suggestions, but DivMMC is what comes to mind. There are various ones

ByteDelight (manual)
thefuturewas8bit

While primarily used for loading, they can be used for saving.

When it is in stock there is the SmartCard:

Hi,,,
Many thanks very your very good answer and support,,,
Well I saw that in EBAY in fact,,, but I dont see nothing about SAVE,, only to LOAD.
Any of you have, or know if it supports SAVE directly from SPectrum ,,like it make LOAD ?
maby I will have to use a Digital sound recorder,, and its done. But if this SD card´s acapter could SAVE,, that will be fantastic!

best regards,

The divIDE (can be connected to parallel IDE hard disk drives and compact flash cards that support “IDE” mode) can (depending on which firmware is used) SAVE as well as LOAD.

I can’t remember if the divMMC can do this. But as it’s an evolution of a divIDE, I would think it can.

The SmartCard can SAVE snapshots, but I don’t think it can intercept and SAVE BASIC programs using the BASIC SAVE command. Having said that, I’ve never tried this myself.

OK, thanks all ,, so it must be an divmmc.

I´ll see if some one in European Union have it.

Out of it, its a problem with costums.

best regards for all.
