People are still making stuff for the Sinclair related machines. Tell us about new games and other software that runs on the Spectrum, ZX80/ZX81, Pentagon and Next.

Keyboard tester program (ROM/TAP)

Post by nuclear »

In the process of debugging a PS/2 keyboard controller prototype for the spectrum (well, pentagon), I made a simple keyboard tester utility. It builds as a ROM (which was useful in my case as the jumper-selectable second ROM of the pentagon, since I didn't have a keyboard to load it regularly), or as a tape file. Released it as public domain, in case it's useful to other people too. It really helped me figure out what was going wrong with my design :)
