Beginning to wish I hadn't bought the fully loaded version, you lucky people. Hope you're all having fun. *grumbles quietly*

Re: ZX Spectrum Next Discussion
Just saying that when I wanted to get some (for another project unrelated to the Next) the main source (to consumers) in the U.K. was out of stock of the standard Pi Zero model.
Pi Zeroes with a header were however still in stock (with a higher price of course).

Having read the manual, I think I'm gonna have to get one. Full 2MB with PiZero, natch.
Mind you, I'm still having trouble with their frankly bonkers use of looping constructs in the BASIC but other than that it looks like a fun language to tool around in.

The Zero W will work fine with NextPi (accelerator distro based on DietPi), however it won’t make use of the WiFi.1024MAK wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 7:37 pm Just saying that when I wanted to get some (for another project unrelated to the Next) the main source (to consumers) in the U.K. was out of stock of the standard Pi Zero model.

If any future alternate bare metal applications are developed then these may well not support the Zero W (as the hardware differences are not flattened out for bare metal like they are in linux).
Finally, remember that the 2x20 header should be female not male, and should be fitted to the “wrong” side of the Pi - so that the SD card is on the upper side when the Pi is plugged into the male header on the Next board.

Re: ZX Spectrum Next Discussion
I’ve not opened the ZX Spectrum Next yet.
However, I do strongly recommend you use a high quality power filter, this video shows a cut-down version, but I recommend the genuine unit described in my comment. This genuine unit, now with a double layer, gold plated OFC flux capacitor, please contact me, lead sales manager, at https://tinyurl.com/urugt28 where I can offer these at a heavy discounted manager’s special price (for a limited time only) of $399.00

The dog ate my homework.
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.
