Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

Hi Charlie, yes - Im happy with that. I would like two of them.

Or just publish the zip file with the Gerber inside so we could order in China instead of ordering from USA?

I use square ones instead of turned pin which are available from reichelt.de for example.

I have square pin strip. Unless the user intends to solder the adapter in place (a distinct possibility for me, actually) then the smaller turned pins are less destructive to any existing socket. Though considering the quality of Sinclair sockets a slight breeze might be enough to destroy them.

Lower profile is more important than the width of the pins. It doesn't matter what you insert into the socket, a normal IC will never have proper contact again.

That's true.

Hi all,

A full parts list and suppliers are in a table here:
http://dlmeng.suncup.net/zx81-ts1000-rom-adapter-pcb/

When ordering, I put in postage into the PayPal button for both shipping within the US and to the UK

There are currently 7 of these left.

European guys, is there enough interest to buy the rest of Dans boards?

I'm happy to front the cash and We could sort out distribution and costs when they get here?

Update, I've been speaking to Dan as the link wasn't working for me. Result is I have bought 2 boards. Postage to UK is a very reasonable $2.33 - Probably as cheap or cheaper than buying a bulk lot and re posting within the UK.

Yes. I'd like to have one as well.
If there were any more left I'd take the rest
You can send mine to Charlie, we will sort out the rest.
Kind regards Paul

Agreed.
