Never owned a Spectrum before. As a teenager I had Commodore 64, like pretty much all my friends. This one boots and works, but as of now I have no way of loading programs. I think I need a DivMMC or something.

    I have a Spectrum in storage that I really need to get around to tinkering with.

    Like you I was a C64 boy and graduated to an Amiga later on, so the Spectrum has always been one of those “Y’know, I really should give it a chance”-computers.

    Having watched all of Kim Justice’s Speccy videos on YouTube I just wish I had the time to give it a proper go.

    One of these days… one of these days…

      I went to Atari ST from C64, still have that machine.

      Thanks for the tip about Kim Justice’s videos, I’ll be sure to check them out. I’ve also enjoyed watching Paul Jenkinsons “The Spectrum Show” on YouTube.

        I can’t recommend Kim Justice enough to anyone interested in old micros and the people of the industry at the time. Her documentary style videos are incredibly in-depth and all with that special British flavoUr.
