@amoroso I very much like my SpecNext, it's maybe overpriced but it's *perfect*. Kick-ass design, keyboard's just the usable side of weird, not like the ZX8[01] or OG Spectrum. I mostly run it as a Spectrum, play old games, code in it that way, occasionally boot some SpecNext software.
Another #specnext blog post, this time about using the Sinclair QL core that was released last year.

It's the final hours of the Spectrum next Kickstarter, so what better time to reveal that Roguecraft will be coming to the machine next year!

Wrote a bit about reading the date and time from the Spectrum Next's Real Time Clock.

I still haven't worked out how the colour mappings in the low-res Radasjimian mode work, or managed to get the fine-grained colours showing in the Timex high-colour mode, though.
