Random stuff from my drawer. #diskette #microdrive #IBM

I woke up in the middle of the night after I realised that Uncle Clive missed out on the one thing that would have made the Sinclair #ZXSpectrum a serious business machine - Including a number pad on the #Microdrive!

I am sure if the Interface 1 had the Microdrive port on both sides then it wouldn't just be a hit with the lefthanded users too!

Have you ever wanted to load arbitrary Microdrive files using machine code, but Sinclair’s hook codes let you down? Well: want no longer and behold: SHADOWLOAD!

By the way, if you want to know what was a ZX Microdrive... DON'T use Google. It's plagued with disinformation and fake news.

Use Wikipedia for now.
