Re: Just got Spectrum +3
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...

DIVMMc & Speccy +3
Hi Everyone,
The DIVMMc has 2 joystick ports. Will my Atari Wico Joystick work with those ports?
Thanks
Bill

Spectrum +3 basic
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.

Re: Light Guns and Speccy
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

Light Guns and Speccy
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

Re: Just got Spectrum +3
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.

Re: Just got Spectrum +3
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!

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

Just got Spectrum +3
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
Bill
