Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128 Introductory Manual HTML version created by Damien Burke and copied with permission This manual remains Copyright © 1986 Amstrad Thanks to Cliff Lawson of Amstrad for distribution permission. Before you continue to the manual itself, a few words about the HTML version: l I've tried to duplicate the original's appearance as closely as possible, while keeping images to a minimum (or to as small a size as possible). This means I've kept the original page structure of the paper manual, with one change: if a sentence was split over two pages, it is now kept within the boundaries of the original page. Also in place of three plain text tables that were meant to illustrate on-screen menus, I've made screen grabs of the appropriate areas of the screen and used those instead. l Tables are used quite heavily. If your browser is not tables-capable, either get a decent one, or read the ASCII text version of the manual. Tables are used not only to recreate the tables found in the original paper manual, but also to move the text to the right (i.e. create a left margin without using Internet Explorer's LEFTMARGIN tag). This is so the text can clear the coloured bar on the left of each page (providing your browser is loading background images). Many browsers will not display a table until the entire portion of the page containing the table has been downloaded.

    The ZX Spectrum on your PC Emulators, utilities and more C Woodcock www.cwoodcock.co.uk/zxf ZXF Magazine www.cwoodcock.co.uk/zxf Copyright © 2004 Colin Woodcock First published 2004 by CafePress.com Acknowledgements My thanks to Paul Dunn, Nick Humphries and Jonathan Needle for the valuable suggestions that came out of their proof-reading of the first draft of this book. Thanks also to Matthew Westcott for helping me to understand TR-DOS a little better. ZXF magazine delights in reporting on the achievements of the members of the Spectrum community and is indebited to them all for their efforts. In particular, ZXF could not have achieved its current distribution without the hosting offered by Martijn van der Heide at www.worldofspectrum.org, whose own contribution to the Spectrum scene goes well beyond the easily measurable. Contents Preface vii 1 Emulator basics 1 2 Finding files 15 3 Peripherals 19 4 Emulator extras 27 5 Utilities 32 6 Russian clones; TR-DOS 44 7 Other emulators 49 Appendix I: Key websites 58 Appendix II: Key documents 61 Appendix III: comp.sys.sinclair 63 Index 67 for Jack Preface So you've finally realised. You think that new technology is great - of course you do - but ever since you packed away that old Spectrum in a box and taped up the lid something has most definitely been missing. At last you understand you were turning your back on more than just an obsolete computer. The good news is that you don't have to fish the box out from under the bed just yet (or lament its sale on ebay or at the local car boot): the Spectrum is one of the most emulated computers (if not the most emulated computer) on the planet and the quality of its emulation is just superb.

    Lean, Tom. "Computers for the Man in the Street." Electronic Dreams: How 1980s Britain Learned to Love the Computer. London: Bloomsbury Sigma, 2016. 61–88. Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 30 Sep. 2021. <http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781472936653.0006>. Downloaded from Bloomsbury Collections, www.bloomsburycollections.com, 30 September 2021, 11:40 UTC. Copyright © Tom Lean 2016. You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. CHAPTER THREE Computers for the Man in the Street arly in 1980, adverts began appearing in British newspapers Efor something rather unusual. Sandwiched between pages of economic and social troubles, Thatcherite politics and Cold War paranoia was an advert for a small white box. It looked a little like an overgrown calculator, but declared itself to be the Sinclair ZX80 Personal Computer, and could be bought, ready made, for just £ 99.95. Despite the implausibly low price, the ZX80 was not only a ‘ real computer ’ , but one that cut through computer ‘ mystique ’ to teach programming, and was so easy to use that ‘ inside a day you ’ ll be talking to it like an old friend’ , or so the advert said. It was an impressively crafted piece of marketing, creating an impression of aff ordability and accessibility, ideas hitherto rarely associated with computers. The little white box, and the bold claims that sold it, marked the beginning of a redefi nition of computers as aff ordable and everyday appliances for the masses. At the time microcomputers were broadly split between two basic types.
