Re: Hello from Nottinghamshire!

Regarding the network Idea between 2 machines above, what cable would I need?
On inspection it looks like the same mono socket as the ZX81 and Spectrum.
I've just bought a new keyboard membrane too.

Re: Scart to HDMI upscaler

The old units with the white writing on are still available, you just need to look for them. There a lot of these newer units with the coloured writing. I bought one of the older units today second hand on eBay and it was easy to find.

Zx8301 heatsink?

Re: Hello from Nottinghamshire!

I was in 2 minds regarding keeping them both. Obviously my wife is unaware because the answer is therefore obvious! But if I networked them then there could be a reason to keep them. When I see the second one I guess the answer will be more apparent.

Re: Hello from Nottinghamshire!

Ah!
Where the issue number is the board edge was chopped, so only a bit of it is visible. If it isn't a 3 then it's a 5.

Hello from Nottinghamshire!

After decades of spectrums I've finally bought a QL! In fact I have bought 2! I have always wanted one since they came out but of course when you are 12 years old it's impossible. So, I ebayed one last week for £205 working and complete. It arrived on Thursday, 2 days ago. All is well. It all appear...
