I don't
remember that much about the ZX80, apart from the regulator kept cutting
out
and eventually went pop. My Father spent a couple of evenings making up a
decent stabilised PSU for it.
Yet again classiccmp triggers a Proustian moment of nostalgia for me :) This
time it's
that if you so much as looked at the 16K RAM pack funny the connection was
so crappy there would be a huge flicker on the TV screen and everything
would be... gone.
Happy days.
