For experts to discuss very technical stuff and newbies to ask why the Spectrum they bought off ebay doesn't work.

Has anyone bought one of these to use with any of the Microdrive emulators?

If so, do they sound anything like a real whirring loop of tape?

It would be cool to add the sound of a real Microdrive to mask the silence and beep of the vDrive ZX

Took me a while, but I eventually found a YouTube video of one of these boards in use.

All the nopes.
