  • How much ram has my ZX Spectrum?How can I see how much ram my ZX Spectrum has? C64 has this info in the title screen, the Spectrum not. Thanks! Micky

    Try:

    PRINT 65536-USR 7962

    A fresh reset will give 41473 'free bytes' for a 48K machine, and 8705 for a 16K machine. Values will be slightly lower with IF1 attached and active, because of the extra system variables.
