Re: ZX Spectrum+ II project

It is configurable.
Depending on the DIP swithes, it can be :

1) Port 1 : Kempston - Port 2 : Cursor
2) Port 1 : Sinclair 1 - Port 2 : Sinclair 2
3) Port 1 : Kempston - Port 2 : Fuller

Re: ZX Spectrum boxes

Here is a picture of the back sides.

The Italian one (Rebit) is exactly the same as the front.
And the portuguese one is just black because it has been rebuilt with black paper. I don't know what the original box looks like.
