You were right of course, now I bought the small TV-set (5,5" - http://photos04.allegro.pl/photos/orygi ... /373015539 ) and it works perfectly.
How about a picture of the "complete system" :) ???

Hehe, actually I put the cigarettes there to make some comparison for non-ZX81-guys; the get them an idea how small the set-up is. :) :)
I rather try not to smoke very near to old comps. :) (So my PC doesn't count ;-) ).

Hi all!

Today I got my second ZX-81. It's 1Kb of RAM (fully worx!! :) ).

I tested the MIC port in it too and - now I know that ZX-81 isn't "compatible" not only with new video-hardware but also with new audio-hardware.

In future I will perform further tests. Maybe with my deck-taperecorder.
