Great work Charly!
The amount of RAM stays at 32K or is there more RAM on the new one?
Happy to buy one when they are ready!

Greetings from the ZX Team Meeting in Mahlerts :-)

Still 32k. I didn't think the gain was enough to make it more.

That's a great upgrade! Seeing this spurred me to dust down my ZXpand, replace the 3.0 ROM with a newly burned 6.6 and upgrade the fw from 1.1 to 2.2. Wow, I love the autoboot and ZX command!

Just wondering with the new design, did you consider 'doing a pi' and moving from SD to micro SD? Perhaps it would clear enough space for a joystick port?

I keep considering it. Is a joystick a real must-have do you think?

I may not be the best person to ask, given I did this to my original ZXPand within days of receiving it:
