Spectrum Computing

Well I cleaned the old belt off the pulley and capstan and in the drive. I lubed the worm drive and cleaned the heads, and installed a brand new belt. Now the drive works as a treat and you cant even hear it read or write! I was able to format, read and write my floppies! So I would say mission acco...

Great top hear!

thanks!

Hi Everyone,

The DIVMMc has 2 joystick ports. Will my Atari Wico Joystick work with those ports?

Thanks

Bill

Thanks Andy!

Everything works great!

Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me!

Hi Everyone, I am new to Spectrum. Just got my Speccy +3. When ever I get a new computer I like to look at the characters in ROM. So I wrote a program that works on every computer I have except my new +3. Can anyone please tell me why this program doesn't work? 10 FOR X=0 to 255 20 PRINT CHR$(X); 30...

Gratzie Alessandro!

I will try those.

Nowe I just need a Spectrum that works with the light gun and my CRT

Thanks Mark and ZXdunny,

I have 2 CRTS, one is VGA and the other accepts Composite or Svideo.

I have my eye on Cheetah Defender Light Gun. I have a +3 speccy but as we all know there is no composite.

How many games are there for this light gun?

Thanks

I am thinking of getting a light gun for the spectrum.

So these questions:

Any SPectrums with Composite or do I need to do the mod?

Which spectrum is the best for composite and light gun?

Are there enough light gun games to make it worth while?

Please let me know your opinions

Thanks

Bill

In particular, you may want to investigate the +3e

Mark,

Yes I know there are many thats why Im looking for help to narrow it down to 1 interface

Thanks

Bill

Thanks for that!

How does it compare to the other interfaces like the DIVMMC?

Thanks for the help!

IS there an SD or USB flash cart for the specie that will play TZX files?

Thanks

Bill

Andy, Yup that's the kit I found only I am still waiting for an invoice cause they don't list shipping to USA. I have cleaned the capstain and fully. Now I need the alcohol and cotton buds to make the cleaning complete. Then when I get the belt I can test. I just ordered on eBay an external cable so...

Well I guess I should never believe what the seller says. The drive doesn't work cause the drive belt is in pieces. So I will clean the drive and order a new belt.

I will let you know what happens.

Now I can test my Gotek drive and see how that works

Cheers!

Bill

Andy,

The drive LED is always lit. When I access the drive I hear the motor spin but the RED LED never gets bright RED

Hi everyone!

I just got a Spectrum +3 and of course they told me the disk drive was working, but when I do a CAT, or FORMAT "A:" I get DRIVE NOT READY. I have tried 10 different disks!

Any ideas what to do next?

THanks
