ZX80 Minstrel Clone

Post by Shaun_B »

Hi,

Someone has probably asked this already so apologies if they have.

The Minstrel clone has both old and new ROMz which can be switched - so essentially it'll run as a ZX81 in FAST mode.

Is it possible to add in some upgrade to make it run in ZX81 SLOW mode?

Thanks,

Shaun

You may be able to adapt Grant Searle's Slow-mode NMI/Sync generation circuit - see his web page here ;)

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