[QUOTE="spiney, post: 172351, member: 192438"] Yep, the Spectrum is still going strong (all that free software!), there's lots at : [URL="http://www.worldofspectrum.org/"]www.worldofspectrum.org/[/URL] Masses of stuff here, software, circuits info, old magazines online, etc .... If you haven't actually got a Spectrum, then there's emulators for it on other computers. I built one of the first ZX80 kits, and it worked 1st time (at "£99.99 plus postage", it was the cheapest way to get a working Z80 microprocessor, otherwise the "professional evaulation" kits costed £500+ ..... ). Hmmmm ... how many other people still have a working Micromatic they built themselves? see: [URL="http://hometown.aol.co.uk/peteroberts007/microradio/micro.htm"]http://hometown.aol.co.uk/peteroberts007/microradio/micro.htm[/URL] . also: [URL="http://www.nvg.ntnu.no/sinclair/audio/micromatic.htm"]www.nvg.ntnu.no/sinclair/audio/micromatic.htm[/URL] . It worked very well! Regenerative receivers are very sensitive, not every radio/tv has to be a superhet ....... ! [/QUOTE]
