Newbie question: how to save data?

Post by Abmvk »

So I got my Z88 today, and I am 100% new to this system, so my apologies if I ask a dumb question (also, not native English, so there is that too)

I have a 128K RAM module with the Z88, and I understand that the memory will stay intact when changing batteries, but I would like to save data to anything more save. Do I understand correctly that flash drives have been made for the Z88? And if so, is there still some webshop selling them?

Hi and welcome,

I don't know if there are others but Rakewell sells flash cards
You can find a lot of information about Z88 here : https://cambridgez88.jira.com/wiki/spac ... ode=global

Currently the only place to get flash card is Rakewell.

The hybrid card gives 512 RAM and 512 flash. (My personal recommendation)

They can also put Oz4.7 etc on the card. It's a great improvement on oz3.

I have made contact with them, very helpful and I expect to have a flash card, with new OZ, within days. Thanks!
