Zx Spectrum 128k +2 (SCART to VGA or HDMi)

[Lardo Boffin]

Doesn’t have to be a large TV!

I got this one for £25.

19” screen - RF, composite * 2, SCART * 2, component, s-video, PC and HDMI. And one of those slot things nobody ever uses.

I got to retire two TVs to the loft due to all the connections.

It runs a GameCube, Wii, Wii-U and Switch in ‘Nintendo corner’. Also occasionally an Atari 7800 and PS1. And Megadrive…

Pico based RGB to VGA for QL at nearly no cost.
Also capable of spectrum video.

Hey Paul,

off topic: is there anything over on the German forums where it’s an effectively a WESPI but for the spectrum 48k?

I'm afraid not. Wespi is just b/w.
It's from the same author.
For RGB he went for the Pico because of its great io processor.
And loading isn't a real problem on QL and Speccy.

I was thinking something like the divmmc but a lot cheaper than the $100 I seem to have to pay to get one. (So I’m not taking about display -but instant loading files)
