Full Office While the ZX Spectrum word processor Tasword II (and later versions from Tasman Software) are very well known products the surprisingly comprehensive spread sheet software from the same software house is almost unknown: Tascalc. The software itself is Continue reading Tasmanian Spread
The Servant While scanning through my more than 30 years old ZX Microdrive cartridges I found stuff that is already available at the ususal ZX Spectrum archive sites (World of Spectrum or ZXDB). Nevertheless there is still room for improvement! Continue reading Typed Gem
Tactile Add-On When the first pictures of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128 appeared usually the Spanish version of that new computer were shown. It was the Spanish Sinclair computer distributor who made Sinclair do it. So Spain was the first Continue reading Teclado
ROM Clashes After using my DivMMC Future with my ZX Spectrum 128 for a while I realized that this marvellous peripheral is better suited for a classic ZX Spectrum+/48K. There are technical reasons why you can’t really operate your Toastrack Continue reading Re-Arrangement

ZX For All For the first time since roughly 25 years I were able to meet other Sinclair ZX Spectrum users at the annual ZX-Team-Meeting in Mahlerts. Being basically a Sinclair ZX81 meeting organized by the german ZX-Team User Club Continue reading ZX-Team 2018

Internal Incompability With most of the hard- and software up and running (and backup’d) I chose to have a more recreative time: gaming. I still have some 80’s/90’s Atari- (and therefore classic ZX Spectrum joystick interfaces) compatible joysticks: A Spectravideo Continue reading The Joystick Re-Hack
