I just can't be bothered with 128K at all. In fact I don't really bother keeping any 128K games in my archive. To me, any AY sound spoils the games. I much prefer 48K sound.
To me, the rubber key 48K is the ONLY speccy :D -

Well, although AY sound can be boring (especially in crap techno tunes), but actually I prefer ZX songs than C64 songs.
And I always try to make new interesting sounds using AY.

8 means the poke is for 48k machines, 0-7 should be the page number for 128k games.
I need to read Martijn's specs again to be sure, but I expect Spectaculator will only open 128k .pok files in Spectrum 128 mode.
