Re: connecting to Digital TV
I feel like that article misses a trick by not also describing the mods to put audio on pin 3 and the second 12V on pin 5. One SCART cable pinout to rule them all (and fully support all the SCART signals) :) I suppose they're somewhat more involved on the 128, needing wire to patch signals across. ...

Re: Zx Spectrum Plus does not respond to keyboard commands
This is going to be a ULA problem, unfortunately. What happens is that one of the KBx lines in the ULA gets stuck low, so the ROM code thinks multiple keys are permanently held down, therefore no keypresses can be registered. If you run a diagnostic program that displays the status of port 0xFE then...

Re: zx-diagnostics v0.36 released
Yes, just that the ROM checksum and machine auto detection won’t work if you’re not using one of the devices on the supported list (see the wiki for details).

Just in case things are hotting up. While I'm flabbergasted by some of his posts can we be sure we don't resort to insults. Don't give anyone a reason to hit the report post button.

Re: World of Spectrum....
May I be the first to call 'Bollocks'. Really Lee, you're insulting people's intelligence here. You're a chancer, spoofer, and whatever other adjective suits a person who takes on a project way above their capability level. The best thing you could do is to hand over WoS to a more capable team of pe...

Re: World of Spectrum....
Quite interesting that Richard, Gerard and David have been thrown under the bus as far as WoS moderation goes. Funnily enough whilst I don't always agree with them I've found them somewhat more approachable than the admin who purports to be acting in the site's best interests...

It is nice to see people's opinions here, and even nicer that people are allowed to express them freely
