At least it works with modern keyboards and with VGA. All the rest is the same anyway.
I like it, I admit.
Byez.

A diy Spectrum clone with the AY chip on it!!
I am in the process of building a 128k version and hopefully will be able to get stereo out ( or split the signal so i can mute a channel!) and make a nice case!! will let y'all know how i get on!
*edit* Forgot to add it turns out my 128K is actually a 48k spectrum +!! oops!
]]>You will have to get an AY interface for the ZX81 (and the ZXpand drive possibly).
]]>Definitely will be going through all of them!
Thanks for all your help bud!! 
My plan is to use the actual spectrum hardware (that's ay music right???) with an sd / cf card... was reading that games n stuff loads much quicker with them over the tape with the limited baud rate...
]]>If you're interested into 1bit (beeper) music, then have a look at our forum there: http://randomflux.info/1bit/
Beyond Beepola (which is really cool), there is also other ways to create beeper music. More infos: http://battleofthebits.org/lyceum/View/ … format%29/
Most of the time, you'll be using cross compilation (from your PC) to create the music, it's quite tedious to make it on a real spectrum.
For AY music, Vortex Tracker is very good too (it's a PC tool). You can find useful informations there: http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/27/vortex-tracker-ii/
If you really want to make music from your Spectrum, there are some software for this.
Have a look at this thread:
http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/14763 … or-speccy/
and some more info (how to load stuff and such, from emulator but some commands are relevant for real spectrum) on my website http://garvalf.online.fr/index.php?page … racker3.en
A very good music made for ZX81 (with extension), by the master Yerzmyey:
