Stern recently released an update to all of their Internet connected games and for a lot of them they didn't seem to do much when it comes to game specific stuff, but I made a note they had done a major OS update.

The operator menus in Stern Spike 2 platform use an emulated version of a dot matrix display, most likely because no one bothered to rewrite the whole diagnostics part and it was easier to just add the DMD emulation. This Portals GUI has existed since mid-90s Sega games and has been around on Data-East/Sega Version 3, Sega/Stern WhiteStar, Stern SAM, Stern Spike and Stern Spike 2 platforms.

With Spike 3 it was finally replaced with all-high resolution graphics version and for a while it looked like that was going to be exclusive for the Spike 3. But after this major update a bunch of late release Spike 2 games (from Godzilla onwards) seem to sport the Spike 3 GUI.

It has some cool quality of life improvements, such as full playfield diagrams for diagnostics and lot of other stuff. Let's have a look how it looks!

ZX Spectrums – Part 3

In this post I’m actually starting to get some of the machines back up and running properly, starting with those two Issue 2 boards.

• Part 1 – Introduction to fixing ZX Spectrums and general visual inspection and stock take of my collection.
• Part 2 – Pre-power up checks and running diagnostics on my Issue 2s.
• Part 3 – Repairing (and modding) the two Issue 2s.

Keyboards

Following on from ZX Spectrums – Part 2 the Issue 2 in the Plus keyboard seems to require the least amount of work – essentially just requiring a new keyboard membrane I believe.

These are available from a number of places, I went to ZX Renew and Sintech Shop (depending on who had them in stock at the time) and found a Plus/128K version for around £20 each (I hadn’t realised they were so much, but that seems typical!) and the original for just under £10 each.

The Plus fitted fairly easily and yes, once plugged in it all works pretty well. I have a bit of a sticky Enter key, so that needs a bit of cleaning I suspect.

The other Issue 2 is in an original case and the issue with the keyboard here is cracked and broken membrane at the edge. It might be ok further up.

I’ve trimmed the ends of the two connectors and they just about fit. I won’t be able to do this again in the future, but for the time being, this appears to have worked.

Composite Mod

I’ve now performed a full composite mod on both PCBs, which involves desoldering the TV modulator and patching in a capacitor from the video signal directly to the phono AV socket. This is described in lots of places online.

Video Adjustment

The video was working fine for both, but the colours were way off on the Plus board, the screen being pretty yellow. Again there are many places online that talk about adjusting the colours on an Issue 2 Spectrum, so I fiddled about with VR1 and VR2 to see what I could do.

I have to be honest, I wasn’t really getting anywhere but then happened upon a setting that seemed to work fine. I don’t know if it will stay in the right place with use or how reliable it will be – the adjustments seemed pretty ad-hoc to me and the sensitivity of the pots didn’t feel very good.

It may be that I’ll need to revisit this at some point and investigate it in a bit more detail, but for now, it seems ok.

The other Issue 2 seemed to have a pretty good colour balance, so I’ve just left that one alone.

Case and PCB Screws

The final thing is to put everything back together. But I needed to replace some of the screws for the Plus case, but I can’t seem to find a full, accurate list of what sizes are used!

Even the ZX Spectrum Service Manual just lists the type not the size of screw for some reason.

From what I think I’ve found, and from measuring a few of what I have (I’m not sure they are all original mind), I’ve ordered the following which I think will cover most of the models I have:

• M3 Black, self-tapping, pan screws: 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm
• M3.5 Black, self-tapping, pan screws: 16mm
• M3 Black, self-tapping, countersunk: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm

The M3.5 are for the 128K case. The others should cover the rubber key and Plus cases and fixing the PCBs. I’ve not idea what is used on a +2/+3.

For an Issue 2 board in a Plus case there appear to be four possible fixing points for the PCB, but the keyboard upgrade manual states this: “the two fixing screws, 6.5mm pan head, are screwed into the bosses on the front corners” – so I think that is just the two holes at the very bottom of the PCB.

Summary so Far

These two now seem to be working fine. In particular, you may recall from my first look that the non-Plus Issue 2 had a memory mod to support OKI memory chips, and it seemed like there might have been a connection missing.

Well, if it is missing, then it doesn’t appear to have caused an issue. The board has passed every memory test on the diagnostic card so far. So at this point, I’m declaring that I now have two working Spectrums.

Things I still haven’t tried:

• Mic/Ear connections for tape loading.
• Other peripheral access via edge connector.

There are some additional upgrades that could be done to an Issue 2 I believe – e.g. upgrading the video output circuitry so it doesn’t need adjusting; swapping the regulator for a lower-power one that doesn’t require a heatsink, etc.

But these appear to both now be working 48K Spectrums which is great.

Ich habe bei Taiwan sehr oft an Halbleiter gedacht.

Inzwischen sehe ich mehr: Auf Veranstaltungen wie COMPUTEX treffen immer häufiger Technologie, Diagnostik, Biotech und digitale Gesundheit aufeinander.

Vielleicht verschwimmen diese Grenzen längst. Moderne Diagnostik braucht Software, Daten und Sensorik. Technologie findet neue Anwendungen in der Medizin.
Spannend wird es dort, wo sich Welten überschneiden.

ZX Spectrums – Part 2

In my previous post, ZX Spectrums, I listed my Spectrum inventory, some key resources for getting Spectrums back running, and started a visual inspection of my two Issue 2 machines, including a deep dive into the memory configurations and mandatory modifications to expect.

In this post, I’ve started to perform the pre-power up tests of my 48K machines.

Equipment Required

For the pre-powerup tests, really I only need a multimeter, but I can also recommend a cheap LCR meter. I have a FNIRSI LCR-ST1 “smart tweezer” that seems to be working well for me.

When it comes to power-on tests, I’m using the following:

• My Basic (and cheap) Benchtop Power Supply providing current limited centre-negative 9V.
• Diagnostic ROM card (see later).
• External composite mod lead (see later).
• Miniature VGA/composite/HDMI display. This was <£40 online and called some variation of “7 Inch Portable Display IPS 1024×600 LCD HDMI VGA AV”.

Pre-Powerup Tests

In the previous post I listed some references and key measurements that can be taken before power on a ZX Spectrum. Here are the results for my 48K machines. Results in bold seem to be out of what I’m expecting to see.

So in summary, I’m concluding:

• Both Issue 6A seem to have a issue with the power regulator.
• Issue 6A (112) seems to have a TR4 problem, and some question about the RAM readings for -5V and 12V.
• Issue 3 has a dodgy 1uF C27.
• Issue 6A (112) has a dodgy 4.7uF (C74).

Surprisingly though, most of the capacitors seem to be fairly sensible. I think my conclusion is that either of the Issue 2 boards ought to be fine to power up, so I’m going to go with the upgraded one in plus case. You may recall from part 1, that the other has some uncertainly over its memory at the moment.

Diagnostics ROM Card

Having some confidence that I can now power at least one of these motherboards up, what is most useful to be running? The best thing to use is a diagnostics card. These will usually have a ROM onboard that will boot in place of the original ZX Spectrum ROM and can put the machine through a series of tests.

I’d really like to have a SteamCard Pro as it is constantly referenced by Lee from MoreFunFixingIt (he puts it through its paces here), but these only seem available by special request in a Facebook group, and my request has not been acknowledged, so that avenue might not be available to most people (including me).

But there are a number of more basic cards available, so I’ve got one like this, which is usually described with some variation of “ZX Spectrum Diagnostic Test Cartridge 4in1” which I picked up for around £15 from cece_mods.

I’m guessing there is probably some common, open design somewhere, although I’ve not found the original with my searching so far. Sites and designs I’ve seen referenced that may be relevant are:

• https://www.alioth.net/Projects/Spectrum-Diag/how.html
• https://github.com/brendanalford/zx-diagnostics

But these seem a fair bit more complex. And to be sure, there are more complex ones out there that can be bought. At some point I’ll take a proper look, but investigating them is probably a task for another day. I might also look into designing my own just to figure out how they work…

But this is a relatively simple card that gets me going. It has the following features:

• Power rail indicators: +5V, -5V, +9V, +12V.
• Four diagnostic ROMs to choose from.
• Replaceable EEPROM (W27C512 for 4x 16K images).
• Edge connector, RESET switch, ROM selection switch.

One of the ROMs is the Retroleum diagnostic ROM which is described here: https://blog.retroleum.co.uk/electronics-articles/a-diagnostic-rom-image-for-the-zx-spectrum/

The full set of included ROMs is:

• Retroleum Diagnostic ROM, v1.71
• Sinclair ZX 48K Spectrum Test ROM, Dr. Logan
• Smith and Alford Diagnostics, 0.37D
• ZX Spectrum 128K 128K-2 Test ROM, v1.00, Dr. Logan

It claims compatibility with all ZX Spectrum Models from 16K through to grey and back 128K versions.

Composite Mod

Assuming a spectrum passes at least the “can I see some voltage on the rails” test, and I think the diagnostic card will also beep if it passes a memory test, really we need some output.

Almost everyone these days will perform a simple mod to turn the original RF (TV signal) output into a composite video signal. This is relatively straight forward as the Spectrum provides a composite signal already to the TV modular on the PCB so it is just a case of bypassing the modulator. It can even be done in a way that is easily reversable.

But I don’t want to do that yet, as I’m keen to keep the number of variables (and mods) to a minimum. But there is an alternative. Again Lee from MoreFunFixingIt has a special lead that he calls his “Henry composite mod lead” that can be used on an unmodded PCB to get the composite video out.

I’ve not been able to find any details online so far, but from reading how the usual mods work, and seeing how Lee uses it, I’m fairly certain it basically disconnects the core signal from a video lead from the Spectrum’s connector and instead brings it out to a crocodile clip which can be clipped onto the composite signal as it enters the modulator. This is only useful when the case is removed as the clip has to be on the inside. But otherwise it will implement the mod for a completely unmodded board.

Here are some details of how I’ve made some of these.

Bill of Materials to make two leads (simply because I’ll be cutting cables in half!):

• 1x Composite/AV (single phono to phono) lead.
• 1x Crocodile clip lead.
• 2x Phono plug.
• 2x 100uF electrolytic capacitor.
• Heatshrink.

The aim is to achieve the following:

The basic procedure:

• Cut the video lead in half.
• Cut the crocodile clip lead in half.
• After threading the wires through the appropriate connector covers and heatshrink…
• Solder the video cable shield/GND to the shield of the phono plug.
• Bend the phono plug inner solder tab out of the way – it is not required.
• Solder the inner core (signal) of the video lead to the crocodile clip lead.
• Cover the soldered joint with some heatshrink or other insulating material.
• Assemble the phono plug.

This would now work for some monitors, but it is recommended that an additional 100uF capacitor is added to the crocodile clip lead to remove the bias that the Spectrum puts on its composite signal. To do this, do the following:

• Cut the crocodile clip lead somewhere convenient.
• After threading heatshrink as required, do the following:
• Solder the +ve lead of the 100uF capacitor to the crocodile clip end of the lead.
• Solder the -ve lead of the 100uF capacitor to the phono plug end of the lead.
• Cover the whole assembly with heatshrink or other strengthening and insulating material.

Hopefully these photos show what I’m taking about in how to make the mod.

To use the mod lead connect it to the composite video signal as it enters the modulator as shown below. The other lead that enters the modulator is the 5V power.

Running the Diagnostics

At this point I can power up the Issue 2 board from the Plus case and see what it does.

WARNING: I’m using a current limiting (limit to around 800mA), 9V, CENTRE NEGATIVE power supply to test this out at this point.

Success! My Plus Issue 2 board is working and passing initial diagnostics, including a full RAM test. At this point I need a keyboard to take things further and explore the other options from the diagnostic card.

Now, if I reboot without the card, I get the expected “(c) 1982 Sinclair Research” line on a white(ish) display, the nothing else.

Unfortunately, the keyboard ribbon for this one has broken and I need to look into replacing it, but plugging in another keyboard temporarily does appear to show that the machine is generally working. The video colours are well off though, so it will need some adjustments at the very least. I believe with many Issue 2 boards, there are video replacement circuits that can be explored.

But that is all work for another day.

This is a really pleasing point to get to, and feels like quite a milestone 🙂

ZX Spectrums – Part 2

In my previous post, ZX Spectrums, I listed my Spectrum inventory, some key resources for getting Spectrums back running, and started a visual inspection of my two Issue 2 machines, including a deep dive into the memory configurations and mandatory modifications to expect.

In this post, I’ve started to perform the pre-power up tests of my 48K machines.

• Part 1 – Introduction to fixing ZX Spectrums and general visual inspection and stock take of my collection.
• Part 2 – Pre-power up checks and running diagnostics on my Issue 2s.
• Part 3 – Repairing (and modding) the two Issue 2s.

Equipment Required

For the pre-powerup tests, really I only need a multimeter, but I can also recommend a cheap LCR meter. I have a FNIRSI LCR-ST1 “smart tweezer” that seems to be working well for me.

When it comes to power-on tests, I’m using the following:

Pre-Powerup Tests

In the previous post I listed some references and key measurements that can be taken before power on a ZX Spectrum. Here are the results for my 48K machines. Results in bold seem to be out of what I’m expecting to see.

There are also a few continuity tests that are worth doing:

• +5V – Regulator OUT to lower RAM pin 9 and edge connector bottom position 3.
• -5V – R79 to lower RAM pin 1 and edge connector top position 20.
• +12V – D15 to lower RAM pin 8 and edge connector top position 22.

There are some more details here: https://github.com/hmerrett/zx-spectrum-diagnostics/

So in summary, I’m concluding:

• Both Issue 6A seem to have a issue with the power regulator.
• Issue 6A (112) seems to have a TR4 problem, and some question about the RAM readings for -5V and 12V.
• Issue 3 has a dodgy 1uF C27.
• Is Issue 3B regulator ok?
• Issue 6A (112) has a dodgy 4.7uF (C74).

Surprisingly though, most of the capacitors seem to be fairly sensible. I think my conclusion is that either of the Issue 2 boards ought to be fine to power up, so I’m going to go with the upgraded one in plus case.

And I’ve now been able to plug in my PDS Spectrum target and show that it at least doesn’t destroy the machine! If I can get a keyboard working, then I should be able to poke the Z80 PIO and make sure it works.

Wenn über KI gesprochen wird, geht es gerne um Modelle und Rechenleistung.

TSMC hat diese Woche auf etwas anderes hingewiesen: Fachkräfte und Wasser. Das fand ich spannend. Manchmal entscheidet nicht die Technologie über Fortschritt, sondern die Infrastruktur und die Menschen, die sie am Laufen halten.

Sometimes people tell us to "get a job" as if it's that simple.

There are multitudinous good reasons why we:
1. Consider our work for Vulpine Labs and the local community more important than any run of the mill "job".
2. Cannot seriously be expected to attain traditional employment.
3. Shun traditional models of pay in favour of Mutual Aid.

And we won't let capitalism grind us down.

Today, Atha:
Reset the mouse traps in the bus
Cleared snow off the bus and car (altitude does not care for your "seasons", mere mortals)
Got a new phone from a good friend
Set up an LELink LeafSpy OBD2 device to help diagnose and fix the car
Did some reading at the library to get back in the mood for learning Python

And Inara:
Did trans HRT injections
Did some cleaning and tidying
Took the car to do a slow charge session
Did some phone setup
Will likely cook food for us and a homeless friend, and do some VR.

Using the body’s own sounds to diagnose Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s before the first symptoms appear | Rachel Bouserhal

https://theconversation.com/using-the-bodys-own-sounds-to-diagnose-alzheimers-and-parkinsons-before-the-first-symptoms-appear-279995

"For example, the ratio of inhalation to exhalation in people with Parkinson’s disease, or the interactions between breathing and swallowing, are altered very early on, long before symptoms become severe enough to be noticed. Similarly, the eye movements of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, particularly saccades, could be captured using an in-ear microphone and provide valuable information about the progression of the disease."
