Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 Forums (also the Timex-Sinclair TS1000 and TS1500)

[RWAP01]

We have created our own forums for the Sinclair ZX80 and ZX81 home computers and their compatibles, such as the Timex-Sinclair TS1000 and TS1500, and rarer ones such as the Microdigital TK80, TK83 and TK85.

To date the forums have formed the impetus for new hardware and software for these machines, as well as healthy discussion over programming techniques for getting hi-resolution flicker free graphics on these Z80 based machines.

I joined! So far I cannot find the pinout for the keyboard from the mainboard, but I will keep looking. There's a nifty keyboard with some kidn of terminal board embedded into it that I can use (use a different keyboard for the terminal board later).

Have a look at the thread about new ZX80 boards - http://www.rwapservices.co.uk/ZX80_ZX81/forums/new-zx80-boards-t300.html

In particular the following post contains links to the schematic and silk screen for the PCB:

Neat, I think the thing to do is replace the board, so I replied and hopefully when the time comes I will have no problem with fundage

Also, I dug out my keyboard kit that has that terminal board in it, it's full size so I might be able to embed it in there, it'll be HUGE.
