    Would a block with a single pulse of length 0 be suitable as a polarity changing block? An emulator would have to make the next pulse the same polarity as the previous 'real' pulse.

    We don't need any block for changing polarity. All we need is the information whether the 'low' is 0 or 1 on EAR, which I think is better to leave to an emulator rather then incoroprate this informatin into the TZX.

    It's possible it could be the power supply unit, especially if it's a replacement type. Most cheapo replacements are only 300mA types that won't run hardly anything bar a Sega MS or Atari 2600. I'd check that out first (as well as the polarity!)
