Anyone know of any detailed documentation (or books about) the ZX Spectrum 128 online that's, ideally, period accurate (not about later emulators, modifications, etc). Actual manuals, books, etc, of the time (hopefully in decent quality scans). I've done some digging on online, but haven't found much that seems terribly complete or in good shape.

I'm just going to leave this here; this is an NES version of Nodes.

It's not perfect, but it's a pretty interesting proof of concept.

Holy cow, you guys.
I didn't think I'd be an AI influencer, and I'm not, but I had to share this.
I posted earlier that I'd completed the BSS pass on the ZX Spectrum game Nodes of Yesod so I could add code for bug fixes, etc. Well, I was idly wondering what else I might do with it, and I've been rattling on about how it is all working, and blah, blah, blah, and it occurred to me that there might be a proof of life that I could share, at least temporarily.
What did I do? I wrote a "one-shot" prompt to convert the Nodes of Yesod Z80 assembler code (from the disassembly) to C and target WASM (WebAssembly). It took 42 minutes with zero input from me, and then I was playing Nodes of Yesod in the browser. I'd skipped sound for that first pass (I thought the beeper sound on the Speccy might be tough). In 20 minutes, the sound was working.
You can play it in your browser at the link below. This is NOT an emulator; it's Z80 assembler code converted to C and compiled to WASM. It thinks it is updating a Speccy display and getting Speccy keyboard input, and there's a light translation layer in and out.
So the cycle was Nodes of Yesod cassette tape image -> disassembled to Z80 assembler source code (and data) -> converted to C -> compiled to WASM. All with Claude Code.

I'll take this down at some point; play it while it is up. There are probably bugs.

Here's my current range of #8bit #retrocomputer badges and keyrings made from printed circuit boards, as shown here when I was at the Retro Computer Museum back in June.
UK ordering at: https://www.samcoupe.com/quickshop.htm
(Discounts if buying a few - see the Pic 'n' Mix options!)It all helps add a few pounds to my development fund for creating new hardware and software that I've got in the works for a range of systems, including the SAM Coupe - the main system I've been developing for now for over 33 years.
