my three guesses and thanks for posting another quiz.

Correct (though strictly I think it's Europa).

That just leaves number 10.

Yeah of course it, silly me.

I'm in with Elevator Action as my favourite,...oh go on then just one more go!

I'd like to put forward Elevator Action for consideration for this poll. It 's a fun arcade conversion that has a really good tune on it and has you offing enemy agents and ducking into red doors to retrieve secret plans. Ride the elevators to change floors, and later escalators. Shoot out lights, k...

I don't have the necessary components to hand to try that out Any resistor around that value will do: 390, 470, 500, 510 Ohm. For the purposes of testing, you don’t even need to desolder the lead from lower pin 13. Simply wiggle a resistor between it and upper pin 17 (making sure you don’t short an...

Thanks Ast A. Moore.

ahh! That's my bad and you are right I didn't count the key slot as a pin so as you say I miscounted.

I don't have the necessary components to hand to try that out and would also be interested to see if this was the fix Frel Ltd implemented their mod.

hmmm, it is puzzling but in that snippet from Crash they do specifically mention a mod being offered by the manufacturer. RMartins any chance of popping open a Comcon, just four screws and no glue to worry about perhaps we could compare PCBs and any additional features? Same for anyone else especial...

Okay here come the images of the two interfaces.

Thanks gain.

No there doesn't appear to e a trace from that pin on the lower side of the interface. I'll post some pictures a bit later to show what it has on it.

Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression that it was the Spanish issues 128k models that had the issue with the CLK signal not being present on the edge connector? My board is a version 6U and no lock up from the CPU just the mapped keyboard letters aren't replicated by the joystick inputs w...

Very informative and exceptional work demonstrated, though my understanding of it all was limited. And dare I say it? But in my own opinion by expanding the original 48k to 512k usable this feels more Spectrum Next than the actual Spectrum Next with all it's extras which don't quite feel close enoug...

Hello all first post and newbie here. I have over the last few months fallen back into the 8-bit era and rather than go with my childhood machine the C64, I jumped ship to the Speccy and am loving it! However I have one issue that has sprung up and that is that the two Comcon interfaces I have acqui...
