1. T/S 2068 version of a ZXSpand

John · Sun, 19 Feb 2012 01:32

Okay, bought an expansion device a few months ago for my T/S 1500 (it's designed for a ZX-81.  It's called a ZXspand:

http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/zx812.html

So, my question is - has anyone developed something similar that could function on a T/S 2068.  If it's something that was designed for the Speccy and requires a ROM emulator and twister board, I've got both.

Glad you are pleased with the ZXpand - it has proved something of a revival for the ZX81. For the T/S 2068, surely the answer here (if you have a twister board and Spectrum ROM emulator), is to get a DivIDE or DivIDE Plus which provide a compact flash interface for the Spectrum and has been used with the T/S 2068 so far as I know Rich MellorRWAP Software

Yeah, thought that might be the answer.  Do have a twister board, and a new DivIDE is en route, so will report on how well that works.  Am also trying to get a Spectrum Plus 2 to show video and have components en route for that.  If it all works out, I'll post some pics.

What about if you don't have the twister board or Rom emulator?

thanks,
Christopher.
