Great stuff! It inspired me to dig my old thing out
and plug it in.
My wife asked me to do that just this evening ;>)
It powers up OK, but the display won't sync on my
colour tv (a known
problem with zx81s...) so I guess I'll have to add a monitor output.
A trivial task.
The old Forth system in mine (Skywave Forth) did
multiple (tiled, text)
windows back in '83 when most home users had never seen a computer do
more than one thing at a time ;-) I used to use it as a data logger,
until it was replaced by an old XT...
But it could still do the job, right?
The ZX-Web-Cam and chat were a blast. It was up for a total of six hours,
but they were the "after"-hours where the discussion was more on beer than
computers. I did hear that a TCP/IP stack is near completion, and Kai
Fischer brought a prototype ZX2000, but I don't have details on either one
yet. Should be up on the ZX-TEAM homepage soon.
