  2. EOY is almost here. So I would like to end this great year for us with this fantastic #Sinclair #Spectrum modification. Sound amplifier, NMI with machine monitor, floppy disk controller and a really good external keyboard. Also a big power supply that can be switched on and off with buttons.

    Have a good start into the new year and the really big news are still coming. Be prepared.

We are showing the "Rubber Keyed Wonder" on Saturday which "features a huge array of games that were developed on the Spectrum including: Jet Set Willy, Knightlore, Chuckie Egg, Ant Attack, Saboteur and many more" and "rare archive material combined with new interviews" #retrocomputing #CliveSinclair #bristol cubecinema.com/programme/event
