  Real rare seems an understatement. You're the
first person I've heard of
  that even knows what I'm babbling about when I mention my Microace ;) 
Okay, so I read a lot ... actually fleeting references to this machine pop up 
...
 from time to time in ZX81 literature.  Let me pore over
some old  Timex/Sinclair user group mags and contact a few friends . . . give me a 
couple of days on this one.  IIRC this thing is 100% ZX81 compatible -- 
please share your experience with me.

...
   Sure, I have the whole thing. Original packaging.
Board is dated 1980.
  I never got around to putting the Microace sticker on the case, or
  even putting the case together.  
Holy cow!  You've never spoken with anyone who knew about the MicroACE, and 
I've never met anyone who ever owned one!!  Let alone, still owns one!!!

...
   Know of any web sites or other sources of information
about this computer?
  Of course I keep thinking I should make a small web page with a few photos
  of this thing... 
That would be cool -- I just took a look at the ZX-TEAM web site, and they 
mention the MicroACE but have no details -- and these guys are the 
_world's_biggest_fanatics_ re ZX81 clones . . .

Give me a couple of days -- I'll be back in touch.

Regards,

Glen Goodwin
