Not ZX Spectrum hardware, but you can think of it as an Interface 2 for the ZX81. :)

I shipped my TS1510 to a friend I met a few months ago here in California. It's a rare interface and the cartridges are even rarer. I wanted to make sure every ZX81 user could have a chance to build the interface and cartridges or at least learn how they work. Here's the result:

Many thanks to my friend for helping me with this.

    I have a file of approximately 5MB with all the pictures, schematics and a word document describing how the cloning was done and how the cartridge works. If someone's interested please PM me.

    Might be worth asking the Shed guys if they are interested in this sort of thing.

    Already on it. I'm contributing some Timex articles for the next issue.

    Later today I'll be adding more info to the .doc file. How to use the cartridge, what memory range is used, etc.
    Now, if I could find the TS1510 original instructions... I know I have it here somewhere. Or maybe I already uploaded it to WOS but can't remember.

    There may be a copy in Jack's archive www.worldofspectrum.org/timex, or in Johnny Red's Timex Computer World.

    I had forgotten it had been uploaded to the TS2068 group, by me! :razz:

    Here's a temporary link if anyone wants to see the manual, pictures, schematics and a word document explaining what was done, how to use it and how to build a cartridge reader that can be used with a standard eprom reader to backup TS1510 cartridges without having to open them. :)
