Absolutely. I went through 4 PCs before I found one (a '286) which worked with ZXTAPE. I set the '286 up in a corner as a file server for the ZX81 several years ago and fire it up as needed. Another author (with the permission of Wilf Rigter) has made available a version of ZXTAPE which claims to run well on Pentium-based machines, but I've no experience with it. Regarding software -- all you could ever want can be found at these links: University of Trondheim: ftp://ftp.nvg.unit.no/pub/sinclair/zx81/ Official ZXTEAM site: http://www.zx81.de/ The World of Spectrum: http://www.worldofspectrum.org/ The last is primarily a Spectrum site but has quite a number of ZX81 programs available as well.
