I/O ZX SPECTRUM AND ZX81
This shelf is different from the rest and is focused on the ability to expand the ZX81 and the ZX Spectrum, in order to control and interact with other devices. To be able to do that, peripherals from other companies (such as DCP microdevelopments, still existing) are needed.
We started off by acquiring an Interspec, after that we came in contact with the company to get support documentation, and gathered an array of DAC and ADC modules, and even the Griffin Expand Pack.
Later, we found a Maplin interface for the ZX81, and that piece is, at the moment, not complete.
In the future, we hope to explore how to use these devices in the Museum through workshops and related activities.
