Reading from 0x7ffd writes the floating bus value to the port, normally resulting in a crash: e.g.

Your Belgian grey +2 probably has the UK ROM rather than the French ROM (so as not to exclude the Flemish speakers). -

The Grey +2 has the same small connector as the original Spectrum (it is also the same cube shape as the Spectrum+ PSU). It was the +2A, +2B and +3 which had a din connector. -
Interface 1 questionI really should know the answer here, but I don't so here goes. Is the ZX IF1 compatible with the grey +2?
The grey +2 with the round power connector yes. -
