MX Linux Forum

I once owned a Sinclaire Spectrum ZX-81 and learnt some basic (for/next, go to, if/then, let n=0 stuff) but am interested if anyone else has explored or found any good emulators out there for this classic hardware, based on a Z80 processor, from memory?

I'll list a few links on a subsequent post, once I format things nicely, of what I've located, including user manuals.

You can even do it in a browser: http://www.zx81stuff.org.uk/zx81/jtyone.html

That one might be the simplest of all I have seen.

I think that is why I found HTML easy to understand back around 1997, having not used a computer for some years after but studying again on the cusp of Windows 3.1/Win95 and trying out early versions of Red Hat and things like Mandrake.

MX makes it so easy now, sorting partitions and boot sequences being the main job, other than 5 mins to customise clock, menu, Firefox and Thunar views.

Ha! My first home computer experience, back in 1984. It was a gift from an uncle that was moving on to a new Amstrad system for his office. I had the 16k ram pack, which meant I could buy games on tape to load in and play, 3D Monster Maze was perhaps the most impressive game you could get on the system; but if you "wobbled" the computer, it could lose connection to the extra RAM and crash the system! This happened pretty often as you often were using the terrible touch-sensitive keyboard. Still I learnt to code a little on this thing and that got me into computers through my life.
