ZX Spectrum

He he he... pity you didn't find the Speccy! Still looking for one if anyone wants to sell me one

[Wimhotep]

I still have mine. AFAIK it is still in working condition, but it is stored in a box at the moment. Unfortunately I do not have any games left. It was absolutely brilliant (at that time ) I had hours of fun on it.

LOL +1
Started with mine at age 13 ... Cost R 300 in those days

[TirNaNog]

Was 10 when I got mine - about 1983 I think... Best R200 my mom spent

I still have one in working condition with the original manuals and joystick attachment But no joystick...

Which joystick interface did you have? I had the programmable dk'Tronics. Kempston, interface1 and Cursor were the other pop ones. Which speccy did you have? Soft keys?

oh man forgot about the extra hardware. We also had the joystick interface, a speech synthesiser and a little thermal printer.

My dad also build an interface to decode RTTY and morse.

fun times!

What version did you have? I'm looking for the hard keyboard type - 128k. Let me know if you're interested in selling (if it still works)

My ZX had the soft-touch rubber-like keys .. and it was an early model .. 32KB I think? (edit .. perhaps 48K? )

Yes - 48K. Those rubber keys! And membranes that packed up with the heat they generated in there lol.

Aah, Currah micro speech! A mate of mine had one of those too. My fav addon was the multiface though... hacking games
