Dear All,
I'd just like to introduce myself as Andy who lives in Cambridge, working at Arm.
I am a child of the 70's so spent my early teenage years playing with ZX81's, Spectrum's and BBC Micros.
I owned a BBC Model B + Dual 40/80 DS,DD floppies BITD but spent plenty of time round friends on their Sinclair kit too.
Over the past few years I've been taking a nostalgic dip into 8-bit micros and have a Sinclair, Acorn and CBM archive I'm very happy with.
I try and upgrade my machines with CF/SD storage, and Composite output as a minimum and HDMI where possible.
I recently acquired a Jupiter Ace too and have also decided to build one for fun. The keyboard is going to be interesting
Best wishes
Andy

Hello Andy
Welcome to the somewhat quieter forum than stardot.
I am very jealous of your Jupiter Ace. Unless I save for a long time (or get lucky) they are way outside of my budget.

Welcome to the forums - I have never tried a Jupiter Ace, but have owned and used all of the Sinclair models!

Re: Hello fellow 8 bit owners
Welcome on board Andy!
Hello. A warm welcome to Sinclair ZX World.
I hope you have fun here
I don’t have an original Ace, but I do have a recreated ACE. If you can find the relevant thread, there should be some photos

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