    Hello there, without better resolution pics I would say that this is a memory dumper.

    it saves the memory snapshot to that intel prom on the board at the flick of a switch.

    although it may well be a rom booter as well.


    see if you can get some higher detail images and I will be able to advise further.

    Good luck with the auction!

    Maybe it helped that someone asked the seller what was written on the chips and het wrote it at the bottom of the auction ;-)

    Is anyone planning on putting in a bid on this? I'm not. but one of my lecturers at college gave me a very similair board for a Spectrum he used it whilst developing a project. Still have it somewhere.

    Which leads me to another question, has or does anyone use a Spectrum for any real world application? If so what?
