Yay! The #Minstrel2 and #Minstrel3 from Tynemouth are both back in stock at #z80kits

These clones of the Sinclair #ZX80 and #ZX81 respectively are great fun to build and use. Get one quick before the run out again!

assembled Tynemouth Minstrel 2 kit. It is a green PCB with a load of black chips and a blue tactile switch keyboard.

I limit the number of hashtags I follow here to single numbers as I can't add hashtags to lists.

That means the output is all on the main following feed & I can't cope with the sensory overload.

eg, I'd like to follow #speccy #Spectrum #ZXSpectrum #ZX80 #ZX81 & have their output in my 8 Bit & Retrotech list, not on main. It's normal to do this with individual accounts/groups, but because I can't do it with lists I don't follow any of them.

Got an inline switch for the #ZX80, like I have for all my other computers.

#PacMan on the #ZX80!!!! Another astonishing flicker-free achievement on a computer that shouldn't be able to produce animated games.

Title screen of PacMan on the ZX80 clone computer (Minstrel 2). It is being displayed on my vintage Philips green screen CRT monitor. In front is the computer and next to that is my cassette recorder which was used to load the game into the ZX80.

I have (very carefully) filed down the video output socket on my #ZX80 clone to make the top panel truly level. It was previously about 1MM too tall for my spacers that I fitted.
