Will +2 Powersupply work on +3 speccy?I've just ordered a +3 Spectrum without the power supply. I have a +2 (not +2a) power supply and wondered if this would be ok to use with my new +3?
I thought the +3 and +2a (the black one) had some large square multi-pin plug. :-?
I'm going from memory as I've not seen one since about 1990 :oops:
I know the (grey) +2 has a 'normal' plug. -
