Keeping Retro Computers Alive!

SD Solution

I’m going to run a regular prize draws so some lucky person can win one of my Retro Computer Devices.  Currently, the prize is a one-off translucent green Zxuitape for a ZX Spectrum 48K+ . All you have to do to enter is sign-up for our newsletter, and on the 15th of November 2020, I will randomly draw a winner. As long as the shipping doesn’t cost me more than £25 I’ll be shipping it to the winner. If it is more than £25 I’ll contact the winner first. To take part sign-up here:

If it doesn’t catch your eye ignore this post. Please bear in mind that there will be other devices up for grabs that might catch your eye, and if you have already registered for the newsletter, you are in the prize draw by default.

I realized very early on, that people wanting to update their TZXduino, MaxDuino, CASduino, or ArduiTape would struggle if they had no experience with the Arduino programming tool. So I built a FREE tool to do that for you in a way to give back to the Retro Community. Watch the video below and CLICK HERE if you want to download the tool.

Nice video from Wayne Robbins who is a big-time ZX Spectrum vlogger in which he shows off multiple ZXuitape models which allow you to load games on ZX Spectrums from SD card. He had an issue with one which I later identified as a problem with the SD card Wayne was using. Also Wayne referred to them as a TZXduino which is not technically true. ZXuitape uses the MaxDuino firmware which is far superior. Wayne is awesome in the community so I’ll let him off this once 😉 If you want to buy one for yourself CLICK HERE
