Novos clones para os clássicos da Sinclair. - Retrópolis

Os micros dessa empresa britânica são queridos de muita gente que por aqui. E desde que o Projeto Arco íris foi feito pela Microdigital, aí é que a porteira foi aberta e hoje em dia há muitos clones dos micros da Sinclair. Desde os ZXUNO, que você pode adquirir na AliExpress (e eu achei 16

One of the cool things about the #Minstrel4th is the fact that its #ROM not only contains the original #JupiterACE ROM and an Enhanced JupiterACE ROM by @nihirash (which enables program load via serial I/O amongst other things) - no: there are also #ZX80 and #ZX81 "compatible" #BASIC ROMs available on the additional banks, all selectable via jumpers.

The ZX81 compatible ROM works well enough to run "Flight Simulation" by Psion Computers.

EDIT: Oh, and it runs the ZX81 version of "Mazogs", of course ...

What will not work is anything that uses non-standard screen and keyboard routines, as the hardware of the Minstrel 4th is slightly different from the original ZX81. Still, it's a nice extra I didn't expect.

Who would have thought that someone would finally release a #rougelike for the #JupiterACE ?!

Done with the #Minstrel4th and it's #alive 🥳

I still have the Tynemouth clocked serial module to finish so I can easily transfer data via serial I/O, but that can wait until tomorrow.

I'm so happy that this replica of the original #JupiterACE is working - can't wait to load some classic games tomorrow!!

Started building my #Minstrel4th today but ran out of high precision IC sockets ... *sigh*

@m3tti a DIY electronics kit that - once it's soldered and assembled - will be a replica of the very rare #JupiterAce #8bit computer of the early 1980s. No FPGA, no microcontroller, no Raspberry Pi or similar involved - only real silicon (Z80 CPU, logic ICs etc)
